How was The Bismark sunk?

KMS Bismarck was sunk in at least seven and possibly eight phases.

Phase 1: Dawn May 24, 1941; Battle of the Denmark Strait: Bismarck (in company with heavy cruiser KMS Prinz Eugen) sinks HMS Hood and severely damages HMS Prince of Wales, but a 14″ shell hit forward from the latter holes Bismark’s fuel bunker, slowing her to 29 knots, restricting her operational range and forcing her to abandon her mission to disrupt Atlantic convoy routes.

Man I really sank the Bismark this morn.  Too much cheese over Memorial day.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

It's possible to find a copy of the 1960 British film "Sink the Bismarck" if you're not afraid to go lookin'.

I (cough, choke) dug one up on the net and watched it on the anniversary of the sinking, a couple of days' back...

What's all this garbage?  Johnny Horton sank the Bismarck.  Scoffers who don't really know military history should get a real education at

The Bismarck sank because it filled up with water and thus could no longer float!
