Another great video One further point that has to be taken into consideration regarding a fight between HMS Vanguard and Bismarck is the very poor quality of German heavy naval ammunition in WW2 There are many instances of heavy German shells either failing to detonate or only partially detonating. This was a flaw in either the shell's design or lack of quality control. Most of the Bismarck's shells which struck PoW failed to explode. This would have to be factored into a battle and gives an even bigger edge to Vanguard. How about a video on the RN Town class cruisers. These were excellent ships and did sterling work during the war but just don't get the credit they deserve. They did everything that was asked of them and unlike the Japanese and German cruisers did it without illegally stomping all over the limits of the various Treaty's either country signed. Even on the rare occasions Japanese cruisers were under the Washington treaty limits, they were well over the announced displacement.
