The Bismark

The German  battleship Bismark is one of the most well known ships ever.When completed in early 1941, Bismark was the largest battleship in the Atlantic.She was immediately sent out with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen to attack convoys in the Atlantic.However,despite her size and heavy armour,her first mission would also be her last.


Early on in the mission they were spotted by a British scout plane, a couple days later two British battleships(the Hood and the Prince of Wales)intercepted them.In the action that followed she sank Hood and damaged Prince of Wales.However,the Bismark was also damaged and with the help of a few torpedo bombers the rest of the British fleet caught up.On the morning of may 26 British battleships and cruisers shelled and torpedoed her until she sank.
