The German battleship Bismarck was sunk on May 27, 1941, by a combined British fleet which included battleships and destroyers. She was however, initially crippled by torpedoes launched from Fleet Air Arm Swordfish biplane aircraft.

Dorsetshire sunk the Bismark with torpedoes but it took many ships the fight it, still all Allied ships either took damage or ran low on fuel or ammo.

The jury is still out. Although British warships caused significant damage to the superstructure, diving expeditions find that there is compelling evidence that the Bismark was scuttled; as the surviving crew members insited.

One.

In the Battle of the Denmark Strait (May 24, 1941), the British battleship HMS Hood was hit at long range by a salvo from Bismarck, exploded, and sank, leaving only three survivors. It is suspected that a shell penetrated Hood's forward ammunition magazine. Three days later, the Bismarck was first damaged by a torpedo, then blasted by a British fleet, before finally being scuttled by her crew.
