This led Prime Minister Churchill to issue the order to "Sink the Bismark". Two days later (21 - May - 1941) Bismark was attacked by planes from HMS Ark Royal. This attack disabled her rudder and slowed her sufficiently to allow the heavy armor of the British fleet to catch her.

The British KGV (King George the 5th) class was the newest and most famous, (HMS Prince of Wales) having fought the 15" gunned German battleship Bismark. HMS P.O.W. is famous for two reasons: 1. She fought Bismark. 2. She was the FIRST battleship ever sunk at sea by enemy aircraft; while manuevering at sea, at action stations, and fighting back with her full compliment of anti-aircraft weapons on 10 December 1941, only three days after Pearl Harbor. It was the loss of HMS Prince of Wales that finally proved to Navies world wide, that airpower (the Aircraft Carrier), was the new queen of the seas; and had replaced the battleship as a capital warship.
