Hood's difficult experiments with shipboard aircraft

How might aircraft facilities have figured in Hood's reconstruction?

Hood repeatedly gained and lost aviation fittings because her motion made floatplane operation unreliable and dangerous.

Hood first carried small fighters on turret platforms and later received a catapult for a larger floatplane. Her motion at sea made the later installation difficult to use except in calm conditions and put both aircraft and crews at risk. Successive refits therefore added, altered, and removed aviation equipment rather than settling on a permanent arrangement. The sequence shows how rapidly naval aviation requirements evolved and how awkwardly an older capital ship could accommodate them.
