The side blisters had worked exactly as designed. She was scuttled! and as far as the rudder goes,it was bent forward ,jamming her middle screw.
the bismarck was a great battleship. if it hadn't sunk the Hood, Churchill would have wanted to capture it and use it against the germans. big humiliation that would have been.
@wotansteel bismarck was a great ship. but the royal navy was better because the british controlled the seas during ww2. if the german navy had been superior, the german navy would have controlled the seas.

3y3raven watch the 2001 documentary on the Battle, and see for your self the damage done by torpedoes and the 600 shells that hit Bismarck.
On this video, you cane hear from the men that took part in this, including J Moffat that launched the first Torpedo, The Bismarcks gunnery Officer, and K Pattison who was told to go in again with more Swordfish torpedoes, to finish her off, but was told by HMS Dorchestershire that they would sink her, by ship launched torpedos
Do you honestly think that the Brits would NOT know , what their torpedoes were capable of ? what thickness of Steel etc.
For your info, all the RN torps penetrated except for 1 that exploded on the main deck, according to the Forensic teams that have viewed, the Bismarcks damage.

Look, I heard quite recently than the torpedoes fired by Dorsetshire didn't puncture the acutal hull; just the outer layer with all of the armour and fuel tanks. BUT, I still like to think that the Brits sank the Bismarck, instead of the Germans just scuttling it.
@hewey812 The german navy had a standing order. To fight to the last shell.if the ship is still afloat on order to abandon then scuttling charges were to be set. This applied to all ships from an "S-boot" to the Bismark. Crew had this instruction without Junack telling them......only trouble is the RN knew of it from very early in the war. The ship was sinking when abandoned, the scuttling charges merely assisted the inevitable.
@SuperAncientmariner with a few exceptions, like the seizing of the enigma machine from a german submarine. theres always exceptions because not everyone wants to die!

You both type shit! and No nothing about this action, Bismarck hit by 1 Aircraft delivered torpedo, then by 2 subsequent torpedos from HMS Dorchester, she capsized, and sunk slowly, nobody scuttled her, read the reports from the German sailors, rescued.
Oh rudder was never blown off, However steering gear damaged, when rudder was in displaced mode.
@keirfree Learn your history, The Bismarck's crew scuttled it because its guns where destroyed, It was loosing oil and it was going to sink by itself. The British would have captured it if they didn't scuttle it
The bismarck was sinking wreck that was completly destroyed could never have been towed back to port by RN the Dorchestershire speeded up sinking of bismarck by torpedoing it 3 times . In closing Bismarck destroyed and sunk by RN
yea, some people think that it couldnt sink (maybe becouse of its fat layer of panzar). that like you say they sank the ship themself, it was still unusefull becouse the rodder was blown off so it just went around in circles.
u are wrong Bismarck was longer than the Tirpitz at the water line and Tirpitzs engines were more powerful than Bismarck and they had the state of the art Chinese build Silk worm anti ship missles with them, but they didnt know how to use them since the instructions were in Chinese!!!

Die Bismarck ist nicht gesunken. Die Feindschiffe feuerten ununterbrochen aber Trotzdem sank es nicht. Es wurde letztenendes Versenkt, und zwar von Kapitän Lütjens selber, der das Schiff fluten ließ.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
tirpitz was bigger then bissmarck he would killed Hood in his own but when the brittish send their aircraft carriers like Ark Royal lexington they would be dead.
and yamato was testing ot something when the american airforce attack like more then 300 planes it was not fair.
Not one British shell has Pierced the Bismarks so called Wotan Arrmor...
Bismark was still afloat after the whole Royal Navy gave its all...Yet they could not
Sink Bismark...
So,out of Fear that The Brits might capture her the Germans Sunk her them Self...By opening all the valwes oppen in the Watter Compartments and awrywhere else...
And,also!It is worth mentioning that all Ships that cammme aftert Bismark(that is only the Iowa class) were based more or less on Bismarks designs...
The bismarck was a legend of the sea...the terror for the other ships, it's enemies feared it. But in it's last fight the bismarck alone against 16 battle ships and 8 destroyers and a couple of planes, the radder was jammed because of one of the planes, while the bismarck turned in cricles unable to move, then when the ships arrived after an 8 hour battle still standing the bismarck turned upside down ready to be sunk. Only 3 where taken prisinors (revenge for HMS hood (At HMS hood only 3 survi
jtappiua is idiot, This statement proves bismark fanatics are either idiots or neo nazis. The bismark was obsolete commerce raider sunk on its first mission and its equally worthless sister only fired its guns at weather station. Worse BB,s of WW2
too right, she failed at her mission. one good thing came out of her demise though, she managed to persuade that idiot hitler that surface ships were no longer to be used against the RN
The record of german surface navy was not good one mostly defeats There is so much BS that is spread by bismark fanatics such as it faced 16 battleships when the Royal Navy did not have BB,s it was the greatest BB when in fact it was the worse modern BB
Well it was one of the best modern battleships. It was better than the Royal navy's King George the V class and only the IOWA class was better and the Yamato had bigger guns and better range but not the rate of fire or the accuraty of Bismark. You are right about the fact that the German navy lost just about every battle in WW2.
The french Richelieu, italian littorio, british KGV, american North Carolina, South Dakota and Iowa class BB,s were better then bismark. South Dakota class had better armor, better guns, then bismark
Well you are an idiot. The Bismark was an full battleship that was far superior to anything the Royal Navy had. The Bismark destroyed the Hood in a few minutes. She had the best fire control system in the world. Her 15" guns could fire faster than any other battleship ever.
When she was hit by one topedo on the rudder she was just 300 miles away from Brest. The brittish battleships King George V and the Rondey fired there intire supply of shells and still Bismark didn't sink.
toonandBBfan is correct bismark was destroyed by the Royal Navy And HMS Rodney was more powerful BB then bismark with its 16 inch guns and better trained crew, bismark had weak turret armor, unprotected stern data and comm lines
Bismarck was faster but Rodney was the more powerful ship.
The Concussion off Rodneys guns did NOT effect the ships armour in anyway.
All it did was to break a few sinks and toilets in the mens room which would be unpleasant for the poor guy who had to clean it up but the ships ability to fight was not hindered in anyway.,
I will take the Rodneys 16 inch main battery over bismarks 15.47 battery any day. bismarks 15 inch shell were weakest of any 15 inch WW2 BB shell french and italian BB,s
The Richelieu would have taking the bismark out it and Iowas and South Dakota were only BB,s with shell plating of STS armor to decap armor piercing rounds before it hit the armor plate, and its engineering plant was more efficient then germans. I would say the french 15 inch gun was best 15 inch BB gun followed by italians
Yamato and Mushashi suffered from terrible gunnery because liners had to be replaced after 100 rounds so they were not fired often Still impresive looking ships
Remember Narvik 10 german destroyers and light cruiser sunk for loss of 2 british destroyers. Blucher sunk on its first mission , tirpitz never saw combat, gneisenau and scharnhorst running away from Renown. Not impressive record
As for Glourious it was overage hybrid carrier Before the destroyer Acasta sank it torpedo the scharnhorst And while the scharnhorst was being escorted to drydock by her sister the gneisenau it was torpedo by british sub. So for loss of old small carrier and 2 destroyers the germans had 2 modern battle cruisers out of action and in drydock for awhile. However you never hear about this just the loss of Glourious, Also you vannot forget the loss of british sailors
The liberty ship Stephen Hopkins sinking german raider Stier using one old WW1 4 inch deck gun when stier attacked the Hopkins which latter sank. Latter the Stier captain lied on his report said he faced cruiser
well some of the is right but the german captain did destroy the bismarck so the Brits did not take over the ship, and they did take more then 3 prisinors but not all for they did get saved. for the Brits did fear that some german submarine was on their way to attack
without steerage,jammed rudder,Bismark couldn't hold course,guns couldn't range on targrt.Bismark should of surrenderd,at least tried to save crew.Sick f nazi's
IIRC many survived.. and also.. give one of the largest battleships in the world just like that to the enemy? personally i dont think it sounds to smart.
surrender isn't something german navy would do,doesn't make their situation any less desperate,2,000 men went down with ship without any hits on Rodney,KG,or ca,s
To my knowledge-there were no u-boats in the battle-but they came the bismarck had sunk. Scaring the british ships who were trying to save what was left of her crew. I maybe wrong though.
It shows how powerful the Bismarck was that the british sent all available ships to sea to sink her! The Ark Royal actually had to steam from the Med! Had the Bismark had more escort cover she would have changed the course of the war-but Hitler thought her unstoppable-a bit like Titanic and look how that died
The Yamato was a dinosaur..the guns took so long to train that any good 15 inch battleship would have got off at least 2 probably 3 salvos to its one.
Rudders, and propellers and thus the shafts were most vulnerable to torpedoe hits, obviously. The rest of a warship is at least armoured but a hit aft can be a disaster. The Bismark went in circles after the "Swordfish" attack. Apparently the torpedoe blast caused a massive failure of the welded aft structure that fouled the rudders.
LOL. Silenthunter! Mr. Director, you should insert a periscope shot of the destroyer, and maybe some interior shots of the sub commander before the torpedo is fired. It will provide great continuity.
personally I believe had the buismark faced off against the yamoto it would have been over quick the yamato only supported 15 inch guns giveing her a range disadvantage.
you obviously dont know much about the Yamato because the Yamato had the largest guns in the world (18.1") and had such great range that she could fire over the horizon so they could not even see whut they were firing at. But she was not accurate at all her fire control system was a joke they had the wosrt FCS out of any nation in WW2 and she would have lost because of the fact that they could only fire a maximum of 100 shells per engament and she would not be able to fight back.
No it had 18 inch. guns. It was the biggest and had the most powerful guns ever fitted on a Battleship and still is. Yamato would have a better chance of winning.
the bismark was an amazing ship the germans really out did them selfves building it. it was feared by the british and americans and took em a while to evently take it down, but when they did it was great.!
They were all flawed in some way. Bismark had great artillery and fire control. And great engines. In other respects she was a WW1 design. Armor too spread out and not enough protection of vital areas (like rudder and shaft). Well compartmentalized but to no avail without good damage control. In terms of protection, HMS Rodney that was mainly responsible for sinking Bismark with her 16 inch guns (while taking only very light damage) was more advanced despite being an older ship.
mabe not the shaft, but i would imagine the rudder is somewhat important, since it is the main source of steering in a ship. Even though you can steer without one if it gets stuck and you cant remove it it causes a problem.
how are the shafts important.yeah the rudders are important for steering but how is shafts important on a ship the just give out the smoke inside the ship.
The shafts on a warship-or any powered ship is what turns the prop. Whithout shafts you have no prop=no prop and you aint moving-anywhere! There used to be a position within a battleship where someone had to be in a crawl space checking that the shaft had enough grease on it to prevent seizing-imagine having to abandon ship=you didn't.
What I meant was that were you in the battlestation ensuring the shaft was greased and the crew had to abandon ship-you didn't i.e you didn't get the chance to leave the ship before she sank.....do you understand now?? There is nothing wrong with my grammar!!
i know i aint going to war unlike u!i dont like killing people in real life! i only shooting games but they aint real life!!! i aint voilent.but i know u r!
Yamato class was biggest. Best? Nah. Superb in many ways, the week part was artillery. The Japanese were forced to go to 18 inch guns in order to match the destructivity of american 16 inch guns. But the real achilles heel was the anti aircraft artillery. It was very extensive but also very bad. Guns themselves were poor and vulnurable. To top it AA fire control was very ineffective.
Iowa class definitely ranks as 'better' than Yamato. And maybe South Dakota and North Carolina classes too.
"""Arch Royal was scuttled by the Boat few months later by the U-Boat, and Prince of Wales was destroyed by Japanese Imperial Air Force in December, 1941. As for the movie, quite well-made. But they mistook the belt camouflage of the Bismarck. It was made in opposite direction, not like seen here. not to mention that at the moment of sinking she had no belt painting at all. """ you also forgot that the type XXI u-boats did not exist yet too.
yeah:D

Die Bismarck ist nicht gesunken. Die Feindschiffe feuerten ununterbrochen aber Trotzdem sank es nicht. Es wurde letztenendes Versenkt, und zwar von Kapitän Lütjens selber, der das Schiff fluten ließ.

tirpitz was bigger then bissmarck he would killed Hood in his own but when the brittish send their aircraft carriers like Ark Royal lexington they would be dead.

Sink Bismark...
So,out of Fear that The Brits might capture her the Germans Sunk her them Self...By opening all the valwes oppen in the Watter Compartments and awrywhere else...
And,also!It is worth mentioning that all Ships that cammme aftert Bismark(that is only the Iowa class) were based more or less on Bismarks designs...

The record of german surface navy was not good one mostly defeats There is so much BS that is spread by bismark fanatics such as it faced 16 battleships when the Royal Navy did not have BB,s it was the greatest BB when in fact it was the worse modern BB
jers59 2 years ago
Well it was one of the best modern battleships. It was better than the Royal navy's King George the V class and only the IOWA class was better and the Yamato had bigger guns and better range but not the rate of fire or the accuraty of Bismark. You are right about the fact that the German navy lost just about every battle in WW2.

You noobs the Bismark was a pocket battle ship (battlecruser) not a battleship u stupid noobs
cheesydude123 2 years ago
Well you are an idiot. The Bismark was an full battleship that was far superior to anything the Royal Navy had. The Bismark destroyed the Hood in a few minutes. She had the best fire control system in the world. Her 15" guns could fire faster than any other battleship ever.
When she was hit by one topedo on the rudder she was just 300 miles away from Brest. The brittish battleships King George V and the Rondey fired there intire supply of shells and still Bismark didn't sink.

bismark could not stop 6 obsolete biplanes
jers59 2 years ago
Bismarcks turrets (like all German battleships) were not well armoured and were easily knocked out of action.
KGV and Rodney did not sink Bismarck as you say, but they damn well smashed it to a pulp.
It was a floating hulk of junk by the time they were finished (oh and they did NOT fire their entire supply of shells).
Tovey (The Admiral in charge) knew he had wrecked Bismarck and his ships needed re-fueling so he wisely turned for home.
Rodney was a more powerful ship than Bismarck.
ToonandBBfan 2 years ago
toonandBBfan is correct bismark was destroyed by the Royal Navy And HMS Rodney was more powerful BB then bismark with its 16 inch guns and better trained crew, bismark had weak turret armor, unprotected stern data and comm lines
jers59 2 years ago
,,Rodney was a more powerful ship than Bismarck.''
Sorry you have no plan !!! The Rodney was older and slower than the Bismarck.
The Rodney was in battle not all at the same time fire towers, because it was afraid the armor by the vibrations do not stand up.
The speed of the fire by Bismarck was higher
Meerjungfrau19 2 years ago
I DO have a plan
Bismarck was faster but Rodney was the more powerful ship.
The Concussion off Rodneys guns did NOT effect the ships armour in anyway.
All it did was to break a few sinks and toilets in the mens room which would be unpleasant for the poor guy who had to clean it up but the ships ability to fight was not hindered in anyway.,
ToonandBBfan 2 years ago
I will take the Rodneys 16 inch main battery over bismarks 15.47 battery any day. bismarks 15 inch shell were weakest of any 15 inch WW2 BB shell french and italian BB,s

Exactly.
Rodneys guns were more powerful and she had 9 of them compared to Bismarcks 8.
Rodneys guns were better armoured than Bismarcks too

lets not forget bismarks side armor belt that was not very deep and was shallow and was pierced under water by P.O.W. 14 inch shells
jers59 2 years ago
Bismarck was an over-rated battleship.
Her fearsome reputation simply comes from the fact that she destroyed Britains most famous ship so quickly (a lucky hit really).
The French Battleship Richelieu would have given Bismarck a run for her money anyday.
And if only HMS Vanguard had been completed a few years earlier - LOL
ToonandBBfan 2 years ago
The Richelieu would have taking the bismark out it and Iowas and South Dakota were only BB,s with shell plating of STS armor to decap armor piercing rounds before it hit the armor plate, and its engineering plant was more efficient then germans. I would say the french 15 inch gun was best 15 inch BB gun followed by italians
jers59 2 years ago
Absolutely, the Richelieu and Jean Bart were very good ships, its just a shame that they never got to be used properly.
The Vittorio Venneto's were good ships too (too good for the Bloddy Italians - LOL).
But when Fritz X hit Roma, that showed the world that Battleships were a thing of the past.

Remember Narvik 10 german destroyers and light cruiser sunk for loss of 2 british destroyers. Blucher sunk on its first mission , tirpitz never saw combat, gneisenau and scharnhorst running away from Renown. Not impressive record

I agree.
Other than Bismarck sinking Hood and Scharnhorst/Gneisenau sinking HMS Glorious, I cant think of any major German naval victories in WW2
ToonandBBfan 2 years ago
As for Glourious it was overage hybrid carrier Before the destroyer Acasta sank it torpedo the scharnhorst And while the scharnhorst was being escorted to drydock by her sister the gneisenau it was torpedo by british sub. So for loss of old small carrier and 2 destroyers the germans had 2 modern battle cruisers out of action and in drydock for awhile. However you never hear about this just the loss of Glourious, Also you vannot forget the loss of british sailors

To my knowledge-there were no u-boats in the battle-but they came the bismarck had sunk. Scaring the british ships who were trying to save what was left of her crew. I maybe wrong though.
It shows how powerful the Bismarck was that the british sent all available ships to sea to sink her! The Ark Royal actually had to steam from the Med! Had the Bismark had more escort cover she would have changed the course of the war-but Hitler thought her unstoppable-a bit like Titanic and look how that died

lopez724 3 years ago
The Yamato was a dinosaur..the guns took so long to train that any good 15 inch battleship would have got off at least 2 probably 3 salvos to its one.
Rudders, and propellers and thus the shafts were most vulnerable to torpedoe hits, obviously. The rest of a warship is at least armoured but a hit aft can be a disaster. The Bismark went in circles after the "Swordfish" attack. Apparently the torpedoe blast caused a massive failure of the welded aft structure that fouled the rudders.

davcru69 3 years ago
you obviously dont know much about the Yamato because the Yamato had the largest guns in the world (18.1") and had such great range that she could fire over the horizon so they could not even see whut they were firing at. But she was not accurate at all her fire control system was a joke they had the wosrt FCS out of any nation in WW2 and she would have lost because of the fact that they could only fire a maximum of 100 shells per engament and she would not be able to fight back.
Smogger911 3 years ago
No it had 18 inch. guns. It was the biggest and had the most powerful guns ever fitted on a Battleship and still is. Yamato would have a better chance of winning.

They were all flawed in some way. Bismark had great artillery and fire control. And great engines. In other respects she was a WW1 design. Armor too spread out and not enough protection of vital areas (like rudder and shaft). Well compartmentalized but to no avail without good damage control. In terms of protection, HMS Rodney that was mainly responsible for sinking Bismark with her 16 inch guns (while taking only very light damage) was more advanced despite being an older ship.
Vermiliontea 3 years ago
rudder and shaft are not vital areas. The deck and hull armor are.And especially the bridge.
aryarulesthisworld 3 years ago
mabe not the shaft, but i would imagine the rudder is somewhat important, since it is the main source of steering in a ship. Even though you can steer without one if it gets stuck and you cant remove it it causes a problem.
emprguy 3 years ago
Rudder and shafts are more vital cause they keep the ship moving remove both or one of those a ship will have major problems.
THEF22RAPTORACE 3 years ago
how are the shafts important.yeah the rudders are important for steering but how is shafts important on a ship the just give out the smoke inside the ship.
aryarulesthisworld 3 years ago
The shafts on a warship-or any powered ship is what turns the prop. Whithout shafts you have no prop=no prop and you aint moving-anywhere! There used to be a position within a battleship where someone had to be in a crawl space checking that the shaft had enough grease on it to prevent seizing-imagine having to abandon ship=you didn't.

Yamato class was biggest. Best? Nah. Superb in many ways, the week part was artillery. The Japanese were forced to go to 18 inch guns in order to match the destructivity of american 16 inch guns. But the real achilles heel was the anti aircraft artillery. It was very extensive but also very bad. Guns themselves were poor and vulnurable. To top it AA fire control was very ineffective.
Iowa class definitely ranks as 'better' than Yamato. And maybe South Dakota and North Carolina classes too.
