The 381-millimeter guns featured in the Aber 1/700L-09 set were the main armament of the largest British battlecruiser – HMS Hood. Commissioned in 1920, HMS Hood was the pride of the Royal Navy during the interwar period and World War II, until her tragic sinking during the Battle of the Denmark Strait in 1941. The main caliber turrets with antiblast covers protected crew positions from the harmful effects of blast waves when firing.
