The report came to the British on May 21,1941.Th German
battleship Bismarck, 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 the had could match the
Bismarck in speed or in firepower.The Bismarch hasdeight 15-inch guns and 81
smaller guns.She could move at 30nautical mile(海里)an hour.She was beleved 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 Bismarck.
On May 24,the Hood found the Bismarck.
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 Bismarck's first
torpedo(鱼雷)hit the Hood,which went down taking all but three of
her 1,419men with her.
But in the fight,the Bismarck was slightly damaged(损坏).Her commander decided to run for repairs to France,which
had at that time been taken by the Germans.The British force followed her.
However,because of the Bismarck's speed and the heavy fog,the lost
sight of her.
For two days,every British ship in the Atlantic tried
to find the Bismarck,but with no success.Finally, she was sighted by a plane
from Ireland.Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch
up with her ,the British fired at her form the air.The Bismarck was hit.
On the morning of May 27,the last battle was
fought.Four British ships fired on the Bismarck,and
she was finally sunk.
