Bismarck was the world's most powerful battleship in 1941 when she joined the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen in raiding Allied shipping in the North Atlantic.
After being spotted by the Royal Navy, she was shadowed and then attacked.
In this engagement, Bismarck sank HMS Hood.
She was then damaged by at least one torpedo from an attacking Swordfish, which slowed her down.
She was finally sunk by torpedoes fired by Royal Navy ships, killing nearly 1,900 crew.
