A Swordfish sank the Bismarck or its twin .303s did?
My naval history's a little rusty.
I always thought the Bismarck was lost to some British tar in a card game so he pulled the plug on it, one reason the Germans hated the English, for their card sharping.
Forget all those myths about the Home Fleet being led to the Bismarck by the Loch Ness Monster, that simply did not occur: Nessie had a cold and her navigating was off, no, the Bismarck went down without a shot, scuttled over a poker debt. Sad really, but good too in that it gave all the luft weenies another "if only . . ." to posture and pine over.
