How strong is the argument that HMS Hood was not truly a post-Jutland ship?
Short answerVery strong: Hood began as a conventional battlecruiser and received post-Jutland improvements, but lacked the subdivision, framing, and armor coverage of genuinely new post-Jutland designs such as the G3s.
NotesHood evolved from a two-word battle cruiser into a more integrated battlecruiser without becoming a fast battleship. Her design bones predated Jutland, whereas G3, N3, and later American projects incorporated the lessons at a much more fundamental level.
