According to the book HMS Hood Warship Profile #19
the Hood had "the blades of the starboard inner turbine were replaced as they were stripped when the Hood chased the Strasbourg". After this was done The Hood near the northern coast of Scotland
did Full PowerSpeed Trials achieving 28.8 knots.
This was on March 25,1941. After the last refit.
Hope that helps.
