According to CWGC records, Wood was killed while serving in HMS Tipperary. However his Naval Service Record shows that he served in Tipperary from 15/2/1916 until 15/4/1916 before transferring 16/4/1916 to HMS Hecla.
HMS Hecla was formerly a merchant ship, transferred to the RN for use as a depot ship, and was based at Scapa Flow with the 4th Destroyer Flotilla. HMS Tipperary joined the 4th Destroyer Flotilla - Captain (D) - in May 1916.
Hecla is not in any lists for Jutland and I can’t find anything to show that she was in action on 1 June. Therefore, I think it very likely that Wood was drafted to Tipperary from the depot ship having previously served in Tipperary, probably when she was with the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla. See below. (Although I’ve seen references that she came from the 3rd and 2nd destroyer flotillas).
HMS Tipperary sank at about 0200 on 1 June although she had been severely damaged the day before. About 15 of her crew survived. I suspect that in terms of the death certificates that all the crew were deemed to have died on the day the ship sank, 1 June. Wood's body was not recovered for burial and he is commemorated on the Portsmouth Naval Memorial.
Fourth Destroyer Flotilla, May 1916.
Carysfort has vacated to the Fifth Light Cruiser Squadron and Tipperary is now bearing the Captain (D), coming from the Ninth Destroyer Flotilla. Broke is now second-in-command, coming from a recent appointment with the Second Destroyer Flotilla, while Faulknor has gone to lead the Twelfth Destroyer Flotilla.[23][24][25]
