As Tomvart says, there have been so many. I guess it's all a matter of taste. And we all know what it is with taste, everybody has one and most of the times their all different. But I think we can all agree that HMS Hood was a beautiful ship. I would like to add a few others to this list.
The Dutch cruisers Hr. Ms. De Ruyter(1953) and Hr. Ms. de Zeven Provincien(1954).
The French la Galissonniere class cruisers after their refit in the U.S.
The Italian Littorio class battleships.
Yes. all gun armed ships. I just think that these older warships with their complex looking superstructures full of armament, range finders and directors look so much more interesting than the clean lines of modern warships. But that's just my taste.
