What British Warship was the largest ship in the WW-2 Navy?  Who sank her?
137944
HMS Hood, with a full load displacement of approximatley 46,000tons, was the largest Royal Navy ship sunk during WWII.  She was sunk during the Battle of the Denmark Staits when engaging the German battleship Bismarck and cruiser Prince Eugen.  There's some debate as to which ship sank her, but most evidence suggests that the fifth salvo from the Bismarck was the culprit.

Fires eating away at the carrier appeared to abate aroound 1900 and her ranking survivor began rounding up firefighters intending to reboard her for another attempt to save her. Before the boarding party could set out, as spear of ruby flame shot into the sky. Somebody aboard the destroyer Isokaze shouted "Soryu, banzai!". Every man within hearing echoed the cry, tears springing to their eyes. The flattop slipped quietly beneath the surface. Some 10 minutes later, the survivors felt the shudder of a vast undersea explosion. Then the waters settled and sunset flamed over emptiness.\n  Survivors of Kaga watched with tearful heartbreak the boiling, churning smoke shot through with long tongues of flame. Like Lexington, Kaga had been an unusually happy and beloved ship. Precisely at 1900, she seemed to lead out of the water under the imp-act of two explosions. On even keel, she sank at 1925.\nParaphrased from Miracle At Midway

I think the great battleships of the WWII era have the greatest form...from the USS Iowa and Missouri, HMS King George V, the Bismark, the Yamato.

How about ww2?\n\nThe Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) grew 50-fold to a force of nearly 100,000 and played a crucial role in winning the Battle of the Atlantic and maintaining open the vital sea lanes to Britain in the face of a determined German submarine offensive.  The RCN also served in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific, and Arctic.  At war’s end it had become the world’s third-largest navy.Canada produced warships, merchant vessels, bombers, fighters, tanks, vehicles of all kinds, artillery pieces, and all sorts of military equipment and munitions, employing millions of people directly or indirectly.  Farms produced immense amounts of meat, grain, and other produce to help keep Canada, Britain, and the Allies fed and fighting.  It was a phenomenal accomplishment.

NO. The main sea battle was the battle of Jutland\n\nFourteen British and eleven German ships were sunk with great loss of life. Jellicoe tried to cut the Germans off from their base in the hope of continuing the battle in the morning, but under cover of darkness Scheer crossed the wake of the British fleet and returned to port.\n\nFor the British, the outcome was a marginal tactical gain. Although they had lost more ships and had not destroyed the German fleet as intended, the Germans had retreated to port and the British were in command of the area. At a strategic level the outcome was more clear cut. The damaged British ships were restored to operational use more quickly than the German ships. However, the High Seas Fleet remained active and its presence as a fleet in being prevented a complete blockade of Germany. \n\nIt was a stalemate with German Fleet in PORT.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jutland\n\nThe land war ended after 4 years of stalemate,on August 15, General Haig called a halt and began planning a new offensive in Albert. This Second Battle of the Somme began on August 21. Some 130,000 United States troops were involved, along with soldiers from Third and Fourth British Armies. It was an overwhelming success for the Allies. The Second German Army was pushed back over a 55 kilometer (34 mi) front, and by September 2, the Germans were back to the Hindenburg Line, which was their starting point in 1914.\n\nLudendorff had decided, by October 1, that Germany had two ways out of the War—total annihilation or an armistice.\n\nThe German army could no longer fight. Americans were arriving and the Germans had run out of men horses and equipment. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I

I'm assuming you mean displacement when asking which is larger. In which case the Tirpitz was larger.\n\nThe Bismarck had a Displacement: 41,700 t standard; 50,900 t full load. \n\nThe Tirpitz had a Displacement: 42,900t standard; 52,600t full load

world war 2 was going on

It was the last battle, where they LOST and surrendered.  The battle of Yorktown.  We were helped by the French Navy, who kept the British from escaping.\n\nIn World War 2 a famous aircraft carrier was named the Yorktown.\n\nPS; There was another battle where more British soldiers died.  That was the battle of Saratoga.  So I guess it matters what you mean by "worst" defeat.

Have a look at the websites below!   Too much to put in this as the stuff is in a table and is also broken down into countries.\n\nI cannot find a breakdown of WWI military breakdown, however.   Part of the reason for this is because the RAF was set up in1918.\nAlso try the http://www.navynews.co.uk - you may be able to contact them to find out how many naval personnel were killed, especially from the last website I missed, which  says:\n\nNaval deaths recorded for national monument   16.02.04 10:25 \n A database containing details of all Naval deaths in service since the middle of the 20th century has been handed over to the Navy – and will be used to create a new national memorial.\n\nand as this was written in 2004, they may now have a list for you to refer to.\n\nGood luck in your research!\n\nHope these websites are useful.

The Yamato had thicker armour, but the Iowa class ships had better fire control due to superior gunsights etc. It's pretty much a toss-up IMHO.

Lord Nelson had a number of flagships during his career, but the best known was the HMS Victory.  Here is the interesting part.  The keel to the HMS Victory was laid in 1759.  The Battle of Trafalgar was in 1805...and the HMS Victory is still in existence manned by Officers and Ratings of the Royal Navy.
