No, just saying that Bismark took out the Hood, which seemed to have been the pride of England's fleet within the first few salvos, but Bismark, the pride of Germany's fleet, lasted a lot lot longer.


If you're gonna say 'yay! Bismark sunk and took most of her crew with her', then the other needs to be mentioned as well.

Yes but here the thing.....

The Hood was destroyed by a superior ship.

The Bismark was owned by Bi-planes :D

Bismark might of been the pride of the Sea, its anti-aircraft batteries were unable to aim low enough to shoot at a simple bi-plane. FAIL

Reminds me of the book Shattered sword, I always wondered why the Japanese couldn't shoot down any dive bombers at Midway, their anti aircraft batteries were unable to elevate 90 degrees, truth be known they couldn't stop the dive bombers period.
