After a brief overhaul of her propulsion system, she sailed as the flagship of Force H, and participated in the destruction of the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir. When war with Germany was declared, Hood was operating in the area around Iceland, and she spent the next several months hunting for German commerce raiders and blockade runners between Iceland and the Norwegian Sea. Despite the appearance of new and more modern ship designs over time, Hood remained the largest and most powerful warship in the world for 20 years after her commissioning, and her prestige was reflected in her nickname, "The Mighty Hood" For this reason, she was the only ship of her class to be completed. One of four Admiral-class battlecruisers ordered in mid-1916, Hood had design limitations, though her design was revised after the Battle of Jutland and improved while she was under construction. Commissioned in 1920, she was named after the 18th-century Admiral Samuel Hood. HMS Hood (pennant number 51) was the last battlecruiser built for the Royal Navy. You can lower and raise the bow and aft flagpoles with Ctrl-D. The boat features an animated Kriegsmarine (WW-II) flag and she is capable of firing both her triple 11 inch gun turrets. Their top speed of 28 knots (52 km/h 32 mph) left only the few battlecruisers in the Anglo-French navies fast enough and powerful enough to sink them. Armed with six 28 cm (11 in) guns in two triple gun turrets, Admiral Graf Spee and her sisters were designed to outgun any cruiser fast enough to catch them.

The ship was nominally under the 10,000 long tons (10,000 t) limitation on warship size imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, though with a full load displacement of 16,020 long tons (16,280 t), she significantly exceeded it. The two sister-ships of her class, Deutschland and Admiral Scheer, were reclassified as heavy cruisers in 1940. The bridge doors open and close with Ctrl-D.Īll weapons are fully functional with real life data.Īdmiral Graf Spee was a Deutschland-class "Panzerschiff" (armored ship), nicknamed a "pocket battleship" by the British, which served with the Kriegsmarine of Nazi Germany during World War II. The bow and aft flagpoles are animated and they can be lowered or raised with Ctrl-A. The ships bear an animated Hellenic Navy flag and carry two rotating radars. They can sail in both simulators but with different speeds. HS ORMI has elements for VSF while TOLMI has elements for Virtual Sailor NG.
Inside the HS_ORMI folder you will find a HS_TOLMI subfolder with the necessary files for the sister ship. Just copy the contents of this package into your VSF (or VS) /vehicles installation folder (overwrite the existing folders if any).
All the instruments can be re-used providing that you give me some credit. I also added a bridge panel with vintage analog instruments along with some digital ones. I had to make some necessary modifications in order for the boats to resemble the ORMI - TOLMI class ships.

In 1996 the main gas turbine was replaced by two new type main diesel engines MTU 12V 396 TE 94. Of polyester and aluminum frame, achieving a total displacement of approximately 230 TN, while the turbine GENERAL ELECTRIC LM-1500 initially brought, was developing speed of 40 kts. The design and construction was oriented to achieve high speed and for that reason the ships are made of aluminum, the superstructure is made The gunboats were transferred to the Hellenic Navy from the US Navy. They were originally constructed for the crisis of Cuba. The gunboats HS ORMI (P-230) and HS TOLMI (P-229) are the two "ASHEVILLE" class gunboats (ex USS BEACON/PG-99 and GREEN Bay/PG 101) of the Hellenic Navy.
