What sank the battleship Bismarck?

Answer 1

The Bismark was sunk on 27 - May - 1941 in the North Atlantic by units of the Royal Navy Home Fleet.

On 19 - May - 1941 Bismark and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen sank the flagship of the home fleet HMS Hood in a short engagement (the entire attack took only 17 minutes. This led Prime Minister Churchill to issue the order to "Sink the Bismark".

Two days later (21 - May - 1941) Bismark was attacked by planes from HMS Ark Royal. This attack disabled her rudder and slowed her sufficiently to allow the heavy armor of the British fleet to catch her.

The morning of 27 - May -1941 HMS Rodney and HMS King George V, along with several cruisers and destroyers caught Bismark and, in a two hour engagement, sank her. Of the 2,200 crew members on Bismark at the time of her sinking, only 205 survived.

Answer 2

The battleship Bismarck was rendered unsteerable due to a torpedo hit, then blasted repeatedly by battleship salvoes and by torpedoes on the morning of May 27, 1941.

Although the battleship was severely damaged and rendered incapable of battle, the ship was reportedly scuttled by her crew. The captain and first officer had been killed, as had Fleet commander Admiral Lutjens. Few of the senior officers survived. The pursuing British ships had mostly retired from the area due to the threat of U-boats or German aircraft flying from France.
