The Bismark's rudder was damaged by a torpedo from a dinky assed little WWI biplane, and she could only steam in a circle. Ironic, huh?

I hate that the British couldn't have captured the Bismark and put it on display. I'd love to have the chance to tour it.

The Hood was the pride of the British Navy. I doubt anything other than sinking was acceptable.
