That's one of the reasons why the Hood exploded during its engagement with Bismarck?

I think that you are off by one war. Bismarck sank the Hood in WWII.

Yeah I know, but Hood is an WWI-Post WWI BC, and do to the fact that they have lax precautions in powder handling and storage like what you said.

Not exactly,
Hood was sunk because of weak aft deck armor (Which she was about to get reinforced) and a fire that spread to the 15" magazines, another one of the problems with BCs
