What were the exact names of the ships that sank the Bismark during world war 2. I had been told that the Duke of York was one. Is this true?
No it isn't. Bismark was the most powerful warship in the world when she was on her maiden voyage in 1941. In her first engagement she sank the British flagship HMS Hood with all hands lost except for just three survivors. Winston Churchill was so angry that he immediately issued the order 'sink the Bismark' even though she outgunned every other ship in the British Navy. When the Bismark was eventually spotted, she was attacked by torpedo carrying Fairey Swordfish aircraft from the aircraft carrier Ark Royal which damaged her steering gear and forced her to head for the French port of Lorient which was then under German control. The battleships Rodney and George V had also attacked her. The Bismark was then attacked by torpedoes from the destroyers Cossack, Sikh, Maori, Zulu and the Polish destroyer Piorun. She was then finished off by the battlecruisers Norfolk and Dorsetshire but even though badly damaged was still able to inflict heavy damage on the British ships.
