@gangleweed you mean, the port where the germans has massive air superiority as well as layers upon layers of AA? you DO realize that it wasn't until AFTER D-day that the allies were even able to bomb the port at Brest, right?

@johnfalstaff2270 no, bismark was not lucky. she had major hits on Hood on each of the two major salvoes fired on her. that was fantastic accuracy. it was UNLUCKY the hood blew in two, but they had already barely put out a fire on one magazine. the hood going down was inevitable.

the Bismark was not sunk by the allies. it was scuttled. although, by then is was pretty much a melted hunk of metal.

@gangleweed Bismark was basically slowly BBQ'd. imagine the deaths those sailors endured.

It's NOT pronounced "LUT jens" but rather "Loot yenz" jesus, you'd think a doco could accomplish that much.

" It was specifically designed with the Jutland lesson in mind" superficially... yes. but on the interior? had the EXACT same issues, which is why she could only take two hull breaches as opposed to the POW, which took FIVE, and was able to disengage still.
