 The Bismarck was the most powerful battleship afloat in 1941 when she sailed to raid Allied shipping in the North Atlantic with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. After being spotted by the Royal Navy she was shadowed and then engaged . In this engagement the Bismarck sank HMS Hood. She was then damaged by at least one torpedo from attacking Swordfish, damaging her rudder. She was eventually sunk by torpedoes from Royal Naval ships with the loss of almost 1,900 crew.
