Love your videos, always awesome when my notifications tell me you have uploaded something. Hearing Mr Ted Briggs talk about the sinking always chilled me to the bone. As did the thought that only 3 men survived the sinking. My brain has a hard time understanding how more men didn't get off before she went down. Mainly those in top side stations. I can imagine a wall of fire swept through the lower decks, blowing open water tight doors and flash cooking everything.

@oceanhome2023 With the Bismarck 70 percent of the survivors were left in the water by the British.

@UnintentionalSubmarine Imagine being on HMS Defence at Jutland. The ship blew up so fast, no one had a chance to escape. She just erupted into a fireball and was gone.

@jamesbednar8625 I also don't think Arizona had a full load of shells and charges aboard when she blew up. Not to mention some of her crew were ashore when she went down. It's pretty telling that the only thing that was found of Admiral Kidd was his ring.

@jamesbednar8625 The USS Kidd is docked in Baton Rouge. I've walked the deck many times.

keith moore I do believe the U Boat threat was real....but I also believe the Royal Navy was negligent in not rescuing more survivors of the Bismarck.
