  3. They were never intended to be in the battleline. Their role was to hunt down enemy cruisers, scout for the battlefleet, and drive away enemy scouting cruisers. Invincible & inflexible at the Falklands demonstrated what battlecruisers were intended to do.

  4. The crew in Renown must have had excellent hearing, because Duke of York was on the Clyde at the time, still under construction. The fact is, Renown wasn't needed, because Bismarck had been reduced to a helpless target by about 20 minutes into the battle. A further torpedo strike from Ark Royal was briefly contemplated, but cancelled because Bismarck was so obviously done for anyway.

  5.  @johnreynolds7996  I've never really understood the fixation which 'limeyhaters' have that, if scuttling charges had been set off aboard Bismarck, then in some absurd way the sinking somehow doesn't count. If the Germans were so keen to scuttle Bismarck, couldn't they have done this in the Baltic in early 1941, thereby cutting out the middle-man!!!?
