WW2 ship Battle - Ship ID

Can anyone help with ID, as all I know is on the back of the photo is written HMS Valliant and HMS Hood. Any comments welcome.

After a lot of searching I found this
shows the Hood and Valiant under attack, along with HMS Ark Royal, from whose flight deck the photo was taken, by Italian SM79 bombers, in the Western Mediterranean on 9 July 1940. None of the three ships was hit by any bombs, but some very minor splinter damage was done to Hood from a couple of near-misses.
