It’s hard to tell what’s going on but it paints the harsh reality of this battle. A few big ships in a vast frigid sea firing massive salvos at each other, trying to get the range right before the enemy does. If you’re a sailor aboard one of those ships it’s literally do or die - if your ship goes down there will be next to no survivors. In the case of the hood a single unlucky shell hit destroyed the entire ship taking all but 3 of her 1400 crew with her.
