Fun fact: in the film (James Cameron's Expedition Bismarck) which this scene is taken off of, it says that the British battleships shot 2876 times at Bismarck, scoring 400 direct hits. it actually set Bismarck on fire from bow to stern, rendering it a complete write off regardless, yet it did not sink by gunfire. It was actually Bismarck's first officer, Hans Oels, who issued the scuttling orders, as the ship's commanding bridge was blown up by shells earlier in the battle, with both Capt Ernst Lindemann and Admiral Günther Lütjens presumably being killed instantly. Ironically Bismarck rolled over just after Dorsetshire torpedoed her, which is why it is/was uncertain what caused the sinking.

Had the German naval command been able to a carrier and at least a destroyer or another heavy cruiser to escort the Bismarck it probably wouldn't be at the bottom of the ocean or at least not where it is. For matter if the commander of the Bismarck had given the order to turn around and abort the mission after noticing that they were being followed it wouldn't have been sunk at all.

@@Daidan0 Hmm? Couldn't even get a direct hit? I was pretty sure the bismarck was just taking pot shots since they didn't know the range (The Hood and Prince of wales didn't even get any direct hits, it did hit the bismarck but the shell just passed clean through the ship and detonated on the sea, and also the Royal Navy ships that was chasing the bismarck down was perfectly fine unlike the bismarck that sustained damage during the battle of denmark strait), but the bismarck did get a direct hit, it did on the hood. And if you're talking about when it couldn't land any shots when it's rudder was jammed, of course it will be very difficult to score a hit since the ship keeps turning around messing with the gun's aims. Also also the reason the ship was hit by a torpedo is that the AA guns couldn't lower enough to shoot down the torpedo bombers, and worth to mention that the germans did hit the bombers multiple times although it just passed clean through the wings since it was fabric.

I’m very aware of the damage to Titanic. I’m also aware that it was a civilian passenger ship, not an armored warship, and I’m aware that it sank very differently than Bismarck which resulted in it breaking apart. I’m also aware that the two stabilized in their plunge in a similar attitude, but one (Titanic) hit a flat bottom while sinking slightly now down which stressed the hull to flex beyond its stress limits, while the other (Bismarck) sank in a similar bow slightly down attitude, but landed on a slightly downward facing slope hugely minimizing the impact force to the hull. Plus, Titanic had already been on the bottom for 19 years when Bismarck was sunk.

Nice simulation ... but with a small error: the stern detached itself from the battleship when it was the first to be in contact with the seabed, more precisely the side of an underwater mountain; given the speed of the ship's descent towards the abyss, the shock was much more violent than when the ship overturned on the surface. It is true that the stern attachment has always been a weak point on all German battleships and cruisers of that time!

As a pro diver pointed out, gradual increase in pressure would not manifest itself as the bends but instead intoxication. When the pressure increases enough, oxygen starts to become intoxicating so the last seconds of existence inside the ship would have been blissful if they escaped drowning. And for those whose compartments impolded, the implosion kills you instantly. The Bismarck was scuttled and most of the crew made it out despite the horrific damage. The British were so resentful for destrying the Hood that they left most of the crew to die to hypothermia. Little to none resque effort was made.

In reality, HMS Dorsetshire started picking up survivors. About 100. They would’ve picked up more but there was a report of U-Boats in the area. The Royal Navy had to protect their big ships so they ordered them to withdraw from the area away from any possible U-Boats. That’s war. Your own ships and men must come first.

@@marttiinnanen4911 No. I told you the reason. They had reports of U-Boats in the area and they were forced to leave. The German Navy ordered U boats in the area to assist Bismarck in any way they could so it’s clear there were some in the general area. U Boat war diaries confirm they received orders.

Pure "Propaganda" the Bismarck was NEVER sunk, it was built soo well that it was actually unsinkable but since she was disabled,surrounded,outnumbered and not going to sink the German Captain scuttled her to make sure that she did not end up in British hands. Unfortunately almost all her crew was abandoned in the ocean to die by the Brits who angry and vengeful about the HMS Hood losing all her crew (1,418) except for 3 men because the Bismarck scored a direct hit on the Hood's magazine causing a complete denotation and instant destruction of the ship. 111 men of the Bismarck were rescued before the Brits commanded that no more survivors be saved. Today the history books say that the British ships had to leave because a German U-Boat was spotted but this is pure lies.

@kreol1q1q8 жыл бұрын
Well, the ship was unsinkable by artillery fire, that's for sure. No amount of british artillery could breach both its belt and deck armor, and the citadel armor underneath. However, the ship was completely disabled and decimated. All its offensive capabilities, all its artillery and its propulsion were disabled and not recoverable on open sea. While not sunk, the Bismarck was thoroughly defeated. Any why would she be ashamed of it. She destroyed a capital ship, massively damaged one of Britain's newest battleships, suffered little damage in return, and was then almost literally gang-raped by every ship and plane the Royal Navy could put to sea or air.
