| KMS Bismarck Returns Fire, May 24th, 1941 by
Marii Chernev At 0555 hrs, after being fired upon
for over 3 minutes without a reply, the Bismarck unleashed her first salvo
against the British Battlecruiser HMS Hood. The first salvo fell
short, however the Prinz Eugen's fire scored hits along the mainmast of
the Hood that caused severe fires along her deck extending to her funnel.
At 0600, the Hood and Prince of Wales commenced a 20 degree turn to
port in order to bring their rear turrets around and place them into
action. At this time, at a range of 18,236 yards, the fifth salvo
from the Bismarck found its mark. At least one shell found its way
through the armoured belt and exploded in the Hood's magazine. The
German observers onboard the Bismarck were awestruck by the enormity of
the resultant explosion. The Hood, the Mighty Hood, pride of the
Royal Navy and for over 20 years the largest warship in the world split in
two and sank in three minutes. Of a crew of over 1,416 men, only
three survived. Immediately after the sinking of the Hood, Bismarck
turned its attention to the HMS Prince of Wales. Hitting the bridge
of the Prince of Wales, Bismarck was clearly at the advantage in this
engagement. At 0603, the Prince of Wales initiated a smoke screen
and retreated from combat. At 0609, the Bismarck fired its final
salvo.
Due to damage from hits scored by the Prince of Wales, Bismarck found
that a significant oil leak developed that severely impacted her ability
to carry out its primary mission. The resultant damage forced
Admiral Lutzens to make a hard choice, continue the mission or return to a
friendly port for necessary repairs. Lutzens choice of sailing to
the French port of St. Nazairre led to the greatest ship to ship
