On this day at 0600 HMS Hood was torn apart in the Denmark Strait.

In moments, 1,415 sailors were lost to the sea.

Yet even now 85 years later their courage and sacrifice still echo through the Royal Navy they served.

We remember HMS Hood.
We remember her ship’s company.

Diane Abbott, visiting a school. She noticed a boy in the field standing alone, while all the other kids are running around having fun. She took pity on him and decided to speak to him...

“You OK?” she says.

“Yes” he replied.

“You can go and play with the other kids” she responds.

“It's best I stay here” he replied.

“Why?” said Diane.

“Because I'm the goalkeeper” 😂😂😂

This is the Royal Navy. We don’t have a navy. Rule Britannia? We can’t even rule the village pond. Or the Serpentine.

“That is not a navy for a maritime nation, that’s a joke.”

Times Radio’s @afneil condemns the state of the modern British navy.

December 2025 @thetimes op ed didn’t hold back

The navy and its tiny collection of rusting or inactive hulls is testament to the penny-pinching short-termism of all parties, senior officer spinelessness and the enduring incompetence of MoD civil servants

A fantastic game and a great result for the Royal Navy, narrowly beating the Army 41-36

Many congratulations to @RNRugby!

Keir Starmer perfectly summing up Keir Starmer

[🤍𝕁𝕆🤍 @jomickane]

Sky news Australia reporting the most factual account of Keir Starmer that i've ever heard. "Village Idiot" Weak and Hopeless" when he says 'we' he must be referring to himself and the Iranian Regime 🤣🤣

[Kevin Edger @KEdge23]

Excellent speech by Kemi Badenoch.🔥

She is right, this Labour government have no plan for the economy, or defence. Labour are dangerous and irresponsible.

All Keir Starmer can do is lie and gaslight the nation, whilst misrepresenting the Conservatives stance on the Iran war.

[MrBounceBack.com @Bounce_BackLoan]

As the press are reporting the UK is now begging France again to lend them some warships, here are just a few of the most recent Royal Navy ships to be decommissioned.

No one in successive Governments thought it would be a good idea to replace them.

[Benonwine @benonwine]

🚨 This woman absolutely unloads on Keir Starmer…

“ARE YOU LISTENING, KEIR STARMER?”

She accuses him of betraying the country and losing sight of what Britain stands for. 👏👏👏

Say what you want… but this is how a lot of people are feeling right now.

Agree or Disagree? 👇

He is such an embarassment 🤬
