.....The Brits done their job...if they didn't, then it would have been hard telling how much more territory the Germans would have claimed.

@brian1963110 I'm with you. It saved many lives.

the reson why bismarck sank was cause the men open all of the bulkend doors and they sank the ship temseles

i am told the Bismarck was lucky in sinking the Hood - well fortune favours the bold, and the German gunners were trained for this; so their first volley found the Hood's magazine, one round landing in the captain's teamug, which had a bull's eye enamelled onto it. That was their job, to blow up enemy shit at long ranges.

Haha did you know the RN called Schanhorst and Gneisenau "The Ugly Sisters?"

Revisionist history and eyewitness accounts now put the Hood's sinking down to a salvo from Prinz Eugen, which started a fuel fire in the Walrus spotterplane hangar, which spread to Hood's magazines.

.....That was a pay back for the germans for sinking the (HOOD)

[brian1963110]

Thank you Brits for sinking the (Bismark).. I salute all of you...

I've always liked the utilitarian look of Bismarck, Scharnhorst and Hipper class ships. I agree Yamato was an ugly beast, but Nagato and Ise looked great. At the end of the day, I think nothing can beat the lines of Hood and Vanguard.
