Pieces of a screw of the Hood remain though nobody bothered to unscrew the screw when the Hood was sunk, nor were these screw pieces salvaged from the wreckage of the Hood. What is the background story of these pieces of a screwed up screw?

Didn't one of the screws from the HMS Hood hit the HMS Renown during a collision in 1935? Some fragments were taken out during repairs and stamped as "HOOD"v"RENOWN".

Here's an easy one:
During WW2, although most battleships sunk in the Pacific were by aircraft, torpedoes, or a combination of causes, one battleship was confirmed sunk by another. Name that ship.

The Yamashiro? She was sunk in the battle of Surigao Strait on October 25th 1944. On the American side there were (among other) six battleships involved (five of which had been damaged during the attack on Pearl Harbor).

The Yamashiro is correct. All other battleships one both sides were destroyed mainly by aircraft and torpedoes. Even though the Yamashiro was hit by torpedoes first, she was finished off by at least the USS Washington and the USS West Virginia.
Your turn, Malte!

Sorry for the delay and thank you for the reminder Mirumoto_Kenjiro, I had indeed forgotten that it was my turn here
The official name of which naval battle includes the date on which it was fought (not the year though)?
