6:40 Or when they get to the side of Bismarck they could board Bismarck and take the ship and if they need to sink it set the scuttling charges

@redshirt5126 several hundred marines?? how many automatic weapons are on the Bismarck a few pistols possibly a few mp-38s or older submachine guns? You need to remember we are talking about a ship that can arm every single seamen vs a ship that is never designed for actions like that, so would possibly have some for ceremonies and in cases needed for merchant ships, which is not an issue faced by a capital ship but anyway, we've got what like possibly enough to arm 40-50 men who aren't trained much vs around 800 men per ship of the line who specifically train for this, yeah Bismarcks crew with the advantage in firepower would possibly kill more before surrendering but that's it. If you can give me any evidence that any battleship especially Bismarck had a large marine corp as standard or a large stockpile of rifles aboard as I can't even find mention of 1 rifle, then you may have made an actual point. Also not keen on your disrespect to all the men who died on Hood you can be better than that.

@kylarstern7550 two things not when it is a surprise attack and secondly did you forget that the weapon has to be able to aim at them such as angles low enough to fire at them, which as anti aircraft guns remember on naval mounts generally can't. It also won't work well if being shot across the decks either due to time delays mean it'll not go off in time or just go about 9000m away from the ship and if a contact shell it won't go off unless you fire it into your own ship, and even if it hits a man or several it it's is still not going to be triggered.
