HMS Bismarck

HMS Bismarck was a German battleship launched in 1939 during World War II. At the time, it was one of the largest and most powerful warships in the world. Bismarck is most famous for sinking the British battlecruiser HMS Hood in May 1941, which shocked the British Navy. However, it was hunted down by Allied forces and sunk in the same month after a fierce battle. The ship’s story highlighted the naval warfare tactics of the era and became emblematic of World War II's epic naval battles. Bismarck remains a significant historical symbol of maritime conflict.
