I have a reference that HMS Hood made a world cruise to "show the flag" to all British Colonies. The World Cruise began on 27 November 1923 and returned to Plymouth on 29 September 1924. She was accompanied by HMS Repulse and 4 cruisers of the D Class.

That is correct, but the closest that they came to HK was Singapore in February 1924, after which they went on to Australia. Hood's log for this period can be read at http://www.naval-history.net/OWShips-WW1-02-HMS_Hood.htm
Ernle Bradford's book The Mighty Hood remains the best work on this ship for the keener students among us!
