Re: Scuttled or Sunk?
This scuttle/sunk question has been a mystery to me for many years. Why do people give such close scrutiny to Bismarck but not to the multiple dozens and dozens and dozens of other ships in WWII that were also scuttled after battle damage? Scuttling is a standard practice. If your mortally wounded s...
