What further investigation of Hood's wreck could establish

Further wreck investigation could improve confidence in an explanation for Hood's loss, with substantial work still needed.

Question

Could wreck investigation establish how Hood was lost?

Short answer

It could improve confidence in an explanation, but the incomplete wreck evidence still requires extensive investigation.

Notes

Further wreck investigation could produce a more probable explanation of Hood's loss. Only part of the wreck has been found in the account given here, leaving extensive investigation to do. That limits the confidence an explanation can command.
