Re: SONAR in the ship
Bismarck did not have active sonar, no. She had hydrophones of a very advanced type called GHG. According to Ludovic Kennedy the Prinz Eugen picked up the screws of Hood/POW at about 03.30 to 04.00 onwards on 24th May. Bismarck didn't pick them up. The report from PE evidently led Lutjens to think ...

hey... I think the Rm had some fine ships... yet i don't think that if the Italians would have helped the Germans with the BS or watever was suggested...that it would have helped the BS in any real way... I don't think that any ship crippled like the BS after the Ark Royal attack could have done an...

Under Ten Flags
This 1960 movie starring Van Heflin, a fictional account of hilfskreuzer Atlantis, was shown on Channel Five in Britain yesterday.
As the movie is now almost as old as the Atlantis' sojurn itself, this is another film, like Sink the Bismarck, that could do with a remake.

As regards film footage of the action with SYDNEY, I doubt that it would have survived. (If a film did exist, it would be valuable in shedding light on this battle.) The KORMORAN v. SYDNEY battle, like the battle between merchant ship STEPHEN HOPKINS and the raider STIER, is an event that's ostensi...

I don´t believe that the Twins or the three pocket battleships could had any chance against Yamato. As a matter of fact I find very doubtfull that Bismarck and Tirpiz could win such a battle against Yamato. The Japanese BB was designed and built in order to balance the US numerical superiority in B...

I think the British would have been able to shadow him indefinitely because they were faster. There was also the possibility they would close in at night and launch torpedo attacks. I don't think his odds were very good, but not hopeless. But the British didn't have radar then, and on a moonless ni...

hey... the fact that the twins had so much trouble hitting the Renown alone...shows that against Renown and Repulse, the chances would have even be less likely for a German victory... although if the twins would have 15in guns...the situation would be totally different... adios miro OK, so how woul...

hey... I must also say that S + G were rather successful... they went down against superior enemies and Graf Spee by taking the British on, gave his light cruiser Emden (if im not mistaken) a escape gap... although a few month or weeks later, the Emden got sunk as well... adios miro The Emden was d...
