Bismarck |
| Name :
Bismarck Laid Down : 1st July 1936 Launched : 14th February 1939 Completed : 24th August 1940 Type : Battleship Class : Builder : Blohm & Voß, Hamburg Country : Germany Pennants : Fate : Sunk 27th May 1941 |
| Built by Blohm und Voss of Hamburg and launched on the 14th February 1939, the Bismarck spent the following 18 months fitting out. On the 24th of August 1940 the Bismarck was handed over to the German Navy. During the battle of the Denmark Strait, her main adversary, HMS Hood blew up after receiving hits to the magazine. In response to this, the Royal Navy vowed to sink the Bismarck, and on 27th May 1941, just days after the battle with HMS Hood, Bismarck lay on the sea floor. With her rudder jammed by a torpedo hit from a Swordfish aircraft, she was a sitting duck for the combined firepower of HMS Rodney and HMS King George V, who ruthlessly pounded the German battleship before she was finished off by torpedoes from British cruisers. |
