Battleship Bismarck 85th anniversary of her demise and also remembering Hood too. Objective analysis and rational; logic of the actual wreak since has put the ship loss in clearer accurate perspective. New video of the wreak survey shows the bow hits stern torpedo damage and location of Bruno Turret in mud upside down confirming Bismarck's and Rodneys crews' description that Rodneys 16-inch shell penetrated the 15-inch gun turrets armor face plate and violently blew out the backplate of the turret. Rodney really shot her up heavily. New to me was the violence of the Swordfish torpedo hit from Ark Royals on Bismarck's rudder not only jamming the rudder but also slamming it into the turning center prop damaging the shaft as well making Bismarck's other two props the only two serviceable.
