How it survived up until the seventies is for you to decide, but even taking into account the obsolete equipment it would be carrying, it would still be in a better condition than hood herself after 30+ years on the bottom of the sea.
"The Anglo-African cooperation was cemented in 1982, it assisted the Royal Navy in the Falklands Punitive Expedition, wherein it claimed several Argentine frigates, the ARA 52 de Mayo and Private Onargleb most notably among them, assisted by the Huxbury Gentlemen's Yachting Association. It also participated in the Shelling of Buenos Aires, which featured the HMS Hood raised from the seas and commanded by an all-East African crew."
So? All the money in the world wouldn't be enough to restore Hood to a combat capable unit.
I was trying to point out that the AU isn't going to be too serious. In addition to the Hood, I've played actual Nigerian princes straight.

"Indian Army" was going to be replaced with "loyal sepoys" if I wasn't afraid of a ban for racism

e: I was going to post a ship but somehow old paint nuked the file, back to square one

Clearly no one knows just how BAD a shape the Hood's in. her Magazines exploded? in case anyone forgot? i watched a documentary on her discovery and examination of her wreck. the prow is the only recognizable part of her. :roll:

''ARA 52 de Mayo''

I take sure you mean the carrier of the Dutch ex-Karel Doorman II named 25 de mayo?
