The report came to the British on May 21,1941. The German battleship Bismack, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.
The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismack in speed or in firepower. The Bismack had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical(航海的) miles an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.
However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismack. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismack.
It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.
The battle didn't last long. The Bismack's first torpedo (鱼雷) hit the Hood, which went down taking ell but three of her 1,419 men with her.
But in the fight, the Bismack was slightly damaged. Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which at that times had been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of Bismack's speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.
For two days every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismack, but with no success. Finally she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismack down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at them from the air. It was hit.
On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought. Four British ships fired on the Bismack, and she was finally sunk.
