and was taken down by of all things biplanes. and couldn't even get a direct hit on a royal navy ship. bismarck should have stayed in the traditional place for german warships. safely moored in port. Edit: i forgot Bismarck did get one very lucky hit in. Other than that it was crewed by men who were barely that. And lacked enough support to be of much use anyways. Had the German naval command been able to a carrier and at least a destroyer or another heavy cruiser to escort the Bismarck it probably wouldn't be at the bottom of the ocean or at least not where it is. For matter if the commander of the Bismarck had given the order to turn around and abort the mission after noticing that they were being followed it wouldn't have been sunk at all.
@@Daidan0 Hmm? Couldn't even get a direct hit? I was pretty sure the bismarck was just taking pot shots since they didn't know the range (The Hood and Prince of wales didn't even get any direct hits, it did hit the bismarck but the shell just passed clean through the ship and detonated on the sea, and also the Royal Navy ships that was chasing the bismarck down was perfectly fine unlike the bismarck that sustained damage during the battle of denmark strait), but the bismarck did get a direct hit, it did on the hood. And if you're talking about when it couldn't land any shots when it's rudder was jammed, of course it will be very difficult to score a hit since the ship keeps turning around messing with the gun's aims. Also also the reason the ship was hit by a torpedo is that the AA guns couldn't lower enough to shoot down the torpedo bombers, and worth to mention that the germans did hit the bombers multiple times although it just passed clean through the wings since it was fabric.
@@5000mahmud it got credited for sinking Hood with a lucky shot but nobody knows for sure if it was either German ship that did it or an internal accident. Be that as it may, it made a decent at best ship immortal
+! ObamaTookMyCat ! no kidding, imagine being trapped inside it in an air pocket only to have it implode on you when the pressure got too great. that happened to compartments in Titanic's stern section basically pulverizing most of the wood work and deck structure
there were no air pockets left. she was scuttled no implosions happend she exploded when she hit the bottom. if she was full of air she would have been crushed one of the expeditions proved this
🤣🤣. Undamaged indeed! You mistake the largely intact exterior as some sign of lack of damage. Not the case at all. The wrecks of Yorktown and Hornet are “almost completely intact” too.
That's the armor plating and reinforced structure along with its powerful keel armor belt too. Stern has ripped off since it wasn't armored Titanic would be pulverized under same conditions
Um, titanic DID sink in almost identical fashion, and AFTER breaking in two at the surface. In fact, titanic landed on a flat bottom, while Bismarck had a softer landing on a downward slope.
I’m very aware of the damage to Titanic. I’m also aware that it was a civilian passenger ship, not an armored warship, and I’m aware that it sank very differently than Bismarck which resulted in it breaking apart. I’m also aware that the two stabilized in their plunge in a similar attitude, but one (Titanic) hit a flat bottom while sinking slightly now down which stressed the hull to flex beyond its stress limits, while the other (Bismarck) sank in a similar bow slightly down attitude, but landed on a slightly downward facing slope hugely minimizing the impact force to the hull. Plus, Titanic had already been on the bottom for 19 years when Bismarck was sunk.
@@danishkfd There were actually many holes in the ship, as David Mearns' survey demonstrated. Even so, the Bismarck was finished as a warship after 20 minutes on 27 May. Being a hard to sink target is not the raison d'etre of the average battleship.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 bro there were Actually 5 holes 4 above target and 1 below water.but still 500 shells hitting out of 2400 shells fired bismark is an marvel and most battleships would have sunk
@@danishkfd You should have a look at Mearns' book. Actually, Bismarck did sink, by the way, and had been a helpless wreck for most of her last action.
yeah I did, it now sits in 15,700ft of water at the base of an extinct volcanic seamount. if you watch expedition Bismarck you'll see what did her in. it was either scuttled or the torpedo that struck the rear of the ship jammed the rudder into the one of the propellers
Derek Wall Funny. I read that suction currents is just a myth. Mythbusters actually tested it a few years ago and it doesn't happen. They used an old trawler in a shallow harbor. Charles Joughin rode the sinking Titanic down like an elevator and wasn't sucked down.
Nice simulation ... but with a small error: the stern detached itself from the battleship when it was the first to be in contact with the seabed, more precisely the side of an underwater mountain; given the speed of the ship's descent towards the abyss, the shock was much more violent than when the ship overturned on the surface. It is true that the stern attachment has always been a weak point on all German battleships and cruisers of that time!
What a chad ship, not only did it essentially one shot the HMS hood, the pride of the royal Navy, but when the Bismarck sank it took a third-mile power slide down a mountainside
She was actually 55,000 tons but the Germans lied about her actual weight saying she was 35,000 tons because there was naval tonnage limit where a warship can’t weigh over 40,000 tons so the Germans said she was about 35,000 so odd tons
No. Germany was not bound by the Washington or London naval treaty and Versailles forbid any replacement battleship to be above 10,000 tons which is impossible for a battleship to be a battleship with that kind of restriction. Germany did not give two shits, once they broke the naval terms, they went full ahead.
I wonder how long those still trapped in air pockets below the decks survived. Were any of them still alive when the ship impacted on the the sea floor? If they were, it must've been absolutely horrifying to realize you were miles below the surface with no possible hope of escape.
chuch mognis Well Bismarck was very heavily armored so some air pockets deep within the ship could've been protected at first. Although jf there were any air pockets, most, if not all of them would've ruptured when the ship impacted onto the sea floor. Hopefully, the crew would've been rendered unconscious by the Bends and never even felt it.
You get the bends during rapid assent from depth not going down. If the compartment was seal they would have been alive until either running out of air or the compartment ruptured due to extreme pressure
Probably the most famous survivor from this shipwreck was not even human. He was a cat. 'Unsinkable Sam' they called him. He was owned by an unknown crewman aboard the ship, and was found hours later floating on a piece of wreckage.
Unsinkable Sam is about as real as dragons at the end of the map. He is composite of like 3 cats and some embellishment by sailors. The picture of him does not match the description of Bismarck's cat. It may have been fished out but the whole multiple shipwrecks thing is not true. But there have been cats that survived multiple shipwrecks. And many didn't. Titanic's cat Jenny had kittens shortly after being transferred from Olympic and brought her kittens to land in Southampton. She and all kittens survived. One fireman saw her leave and took it as a bad omen and left Titanic along with Jenny. Hood exploded with several cats aboard.
Imagine an animal seeing this, it wouldn’t know it but it probably wouldn’t know that it just witnessed one of the greatest battleships ever hitting the sea floor, if it could see at all but it would definitely hear it.
+Tara Motley well remember that she capsized and the turrets fell out of the barbettes, each turret weighs about 1500 tonnes each so 50,000 minus 1500 (x4) is about 6000 tons gone from the weight, or about 44,thousand tons, the superstructure was also ripped off, which also weighed quite a bit. i think the narrator took these into account to the "35 thousand ton missile"
@@provetamin How could the pressure not kill you? No compartment is going to withstand the 7,000 or so psi at that depth and obviously no humans would either.
41,700 without fuel ammo and stores, but i do predict by 2035 she will be up to 57,000. as the hull slid the bow turned and headed west, lol even sunk she was still making for Brest, badass ship!
Yet, to this day, there her hull sits in ONE PIECE (ok minus the stern) a tribute to just how well built this awesome ship was. It didn't bend, buckle or collapse and is, technically, re-floatable.
@@basil9973 according to Ballard, no torpedo breeched the hull of the ship. He went inside the torpedo bulkhead through a hole which was created when Bismark drug across one of its main batteries on the sea bed. They may have breeched the outter hull of the ship but never the inner hull. Bismarck had a torpedo belt with torpedo bulkheads, which were more than likely filled with sea water, one reason to sit the ship lower in the water to provide a smaller target, and to reduce damage from torpedo hits. That being said, there is no doubt there were tears in the welds from those strikes. The only men to know honest to god what happend to that ship are all dead and gone, all thats left is speculation.
@@powderb2009 Without speculation, the only logical solution besides the inspection of the ship's hull is that only the scuttling itself caused the sinking of the Bismarck.
@@powderb2009Many breached the outer hull. Which still blows up vital parts, however the citadel and it's torpedo bulkhead was undamaged. A few scratches near torpedo damage on the outer hull, so her loss of buoyancy was most like through scuttling, probably a small charge on some large seawater cooling loops. That would do it. Blowing through the double bottom would take a main gun shell worth of explosives. And you open the bulkhead hatches so it floods the whole central area.
Oh come people! Let’s use some common physics. At that depth any trapped air volume would be 1/500th the size it was on the surface. Any compartment that had air in it and was watertight would have collapsed on way down. So everyplace on the wreck is at 500 atmospheres. No human can survive that pressure....all were dead long before ship hit bottom. And they were still in tact.
As a pro diver pointed out, gradual increase in pressure would not manifest itself as the bends but instead intoxication. When the pressure increases enough, oxygen starts to become intoxicating so the last seconds of existence inside the ship would have been blissful if they escaped drowning. And for those whose compartments impolded, the implosion kills you instantly. The Bismarck was scuttled and most of the crew made it out despite the horrific damage. The British were so resentful for destrying the Hood that they left most of the crew to die to hypothermia. Little to none resque effort was made.
In reality, HMS Dorsetshire started picking up survivors. About 100. They would’ve picked up more but there was a report of U-Boats in the area. The Royal Navy had to protect their big ships so they ordered them to withdraw from the area away from any possible U-Boats. That’s war. Your own ships and men must come first.
@@raflaughter3474 You know as well as I that this was just an excuse. They left hundreds to the sea on purpose. The whole mission was just a vengeance for Hood.
@@marttiinnanen4911 No. I told you the reason. They had reports of U-Boats in the area and they were forced to leave. The German Navy ordered U boats in the area to assist Bismarck in any way they could so it’s clear there were some in the general area. U Boat war diaries confirm they received orders. So you are completely wrong in your theory. Over 100 survivors were picked up and were POW’s for the rest of the war.
@@marttiinnanen4911 And the mission to seek out and sink Bismarck was begun long before Hood was even sunk. So once again, that proves your theory as wrong.
@@raflaughter3474 LOL yeah, they mobilised the entire navy to hunt a single ship after Hood was sunk. So no, it didn't start long before. Bismarck was of course a target but it was not a blood hunt like after sinking the Hood.
If that thing reached the Atlantic, then it would’ve caused hell onto the Atlantic Aid routes. And after that, Britain would’ve lost the war and America would have to deal with a fully communist Europe by the start of the cold war. To hell with the Bismarck.
It makes you think that one 1930's designed bi plane mooching along at 120 knots can result in all this destruction. (It indirectly caused Pearl Harbour as well)
The US was already aware of carrier launched attacks on ports well before Taranto. The US Navy conducted mock attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Panama Canal in the late 20's and thru the 30's.
I didn't expect it to do much after landing on the bottom, yet it slides 2/3rd's of a mile! The ghosts on board must have been like, "Can we rest now?!"

@@lawrencehaguewood5857 actually no. Hitler, pre war wanted a Battlefleet, he wanted many Battleships and two carriers, but the reality of war crushed his ambitions. Good thing.
I seem to remember a documentary in they said they had tried to find the wreck & failed. Then it appeared to slide out of a mud bank on an area they had already searched & could not explain why.
This documentary is from I think 2000. Computers then could not handle that kind of detail. Look at the quality of the model: it looks like it’s made from plastic/rubber.
Watching the ship crash into the ground, and then slide, must have been one of the most visually spectacular sights of the entire 20th century. Pity that it was, of course, physically impossible.

+Audreylaurarx Other way around. Bismarck sunk Hood. The British Home Fleet rendered Bismarck unable to maneuver, unseaworthy and irreparable. The Bismarck's crew scuttled her but that just sped the inevitable. The damage already sustained was sinking her already, albeit a little slower.
@@erebus8579 not really, the ship was listing anyway and taking on water and would have sunk eventually, but the crew decided to speed up the matter to prevent the Royal Navy from towing it to Britain.

Pure "Propaganda" the Bismarck was NEVER sunk, it was built soo well that it was actually unsinkable but since she was disabled,surrounded,outnumbered and not going to sink the German Captain scuttled her to make sure that she did not end up in British hands. Unfortunately almost all her crew was abandoned in the ocean to die by the Brits who angry and vengeful about the HMS Hood losing all her crew (1,418) except for 3 men because the Bismarck scored a direct hit on the Hood's magazine causing a complete denotation and instant destruction of the ship. 111 men of the Bismarck were rescued before the Brits commanded that no more survivors be saved. Today the history books say that the British ships had to leave because a German U-Boat was spotted but this is pure lies.
Well, the ship was unsinkable by artillery fire, that's for sure. No amount of british artillery could breach both its belt and deck armor, and the citadel armor underneath. However, the ship was completely disabled and decimated. All its offensive capabilities, all its artillery and its propulsion were disabled and not recoverable on open sea. While not sunk, the Bismarck was thoroughly defeated. Any why would she be ashamed of it. She destroyed a capital ship, massively damaged one of Britain's newest battleships, suffered little damage in return, and was then almost literally gang-raped by every ship and plane the Royal Navy could put to sea or air.
Soap Except for the Bismarck. She was practically raped from the air and an entire fleet of British ships BUT SHE DID NOT SINK get that through your feeble brain. She had to be scuttled by her own crew.
SINK verb (used without object), sank or, often sunk; sunk or sunken; sinking. 1. to displace part of the volume of a supporting substance or object and become totally or partially submerged or enveloped; fall or descend into or below the surface or to the bottom (often followed by in or into): The battleship sank within two hours. His foot sank in the mud. Her head sinks into the pillows. 2. to fall, drop, or descend gradually to a lower level: The river sank two feet during the dry spell. 3. to settle or fall gradually, as a heavy structure: The tower is slowly sinking. 4. to fall or collapse slowly from weakness, fatigue, distress, etc.: He gasped and sank to his knees. 5. to slope downward; dip: The field sinks toward the highway. 6. to go down toward or below the horizon: the sun sinks in the west. 7. to penetrate, permeate, or seep (usually followed by in or into): Wipe the oil off before it sinks into the wood. The Bismarck is at the bottom of the north Atlantic. She most definitely sunk.
Ironically, the fact that it was sunk makes Bismarck one of the most well preserved Battleships of World War II, along with the Iowa class.

Had the German naval command been able to a carrier and at least a destroyer or another heavy cruiser to escort the Bismarck it probably wouldn't be at the bottom of the ocean or at least not where it is. For matter if the commander of the Bismarck had given the order to turn around and abort the mission after noticing that they were being followed it wouldn't have been sunk at all.
@@Daidan0 Hmm? Couldn't even get a direct hit? I was pretty sure the bismarck was just taking pot shots since they didn't know the range (The Hood and Prince of wales didn't even get any direct hits, it did hit the bismarck but the shell just passed clean through the ship and detonated on the sea, and also the Royal Navy ships that was chasing the bismarck down was perfectly fine unlike the bismarck that sustained damage during the battle of denmark strait), but the bismarck did get a direct hit, it did on the hood. And if you're talking about when it couldn't land any shots when it's rudder was jammed, of course it will be very difficult to score a hit since the ship keeps turning around messing with the gun's aims. Also also the reason the ship was hit by a torpedo is that the AA guns couldn't lower enough to shoot down the torpedo bombers, and worth to mention that the germans did hit the bombers multiple times although it just passed clean through the wings since it was fabric.
@@Daidan0 Germanys most fearsome battleship, doomed by a dinky biplane lol
@@5000mahmud it got credited for sinking Hood with a lucky shot but nobody knows for sure if it was either German ship that did it or an internal accident. Be that as it may, it made a decent at best ship immortal
that thing went on one hell of a wild ride down there!
+! ObamaTookMyCat ! no kidding, imagine being trapped inside it in an air pocket only to have it implode on you when the pressure got too great. that happened to compartments in Titanic's stern section basically pulverizing most of the wood work and deck structure
there were no air pockets left. she was scuttled no implosions happend she exploded when she hit the bottom. if she was full of air she would have been crushed one of the expeditions proved this
It was scudded
@@somedrytoast2307 scuttled, keyboard on Samsung s8 has very thin keys and a very sensitive touchscreen
It's impressive how strong this ship was. It is almost undamaged.
🤣🤣. Undamaged indeed! You mistake the largely intact exterior as some sign of lack of damage. Not the case at all. The wrecks of Yorktown and Hornet are “almost completely intact” too.
That's the armor plating and reinforced structure along with its powerful keel armor belt too. Stern has ripped off since it wasn't armored Titanic would be pulverized under same conditions
Turtleback Armor
Um, titanic DID sink in almost identical fashion, and AFTER breaking in two at the surface. In fact, titanic landed on a flat bottom, while Bismarck had a softer landing on a downward slope.
I’m very aware of the damage to Titanic. I’m also aware that it was a civilian passenger ship, not an armored warship, and I’m aware that it sank very differently than Bismarck which resulted in it breaking apart. I’m also aware that the two stabilized in their plunge in a similar attitude, but one (Titanic) hit a flat bottom while sinking slightly now down which stressed the hull to flex beyond its stress limits, while the other (Bismarck) sank in a similar bow slightly down attitude, but landed on a slightly downward facing slope hugely minimizing the impact force to the hull. Plus, Titanic had already been on the bottom for 19 years when Bismarck was sunk.
That the ship stayed together except for a few things is astounding
Also, all the shells that didn't explode on her way down, is mind boggling.
Wow the ship's hull still in one piece even after hitting the seabed at that angle
100% Deutsche qualitat
Most people expect battleships to do rather more than simply not break up when sunk. Perhaps it is a German thing?
It ate 2800 shells 16 torpedoes and only one hole isn't it enough to prove its quality
@@danishkfd There were actually many holes in the ship, as David Mearns' survey demonstrated. Even so, the Bismarck was finished as a warship after 20 minutes on 27 May. Being a hard to sink target is not the raison d'etre of the average battleship.
@@dovetonsturdee7033 bro there were Actually 5 holes 4 above target and 1 below water.but still 500 shells hitting out of 2400 shells fired bismark is an marvel and most battleships would have sunk
@@danishkfd You should have a look at Mearns' book. Actually, Bismarck did sink, by the way, and had been a helpless wreck for most of her last action.
I knew that a sinking ship would cause a suction current. god help anyone who got sucked under while she sank.
You told me about the Bismarck didn't you
yeah I did, it now sits in 15,700ft of water at the base of an extinct volcanic seamount. if you watch expedition Bismarck you'll see what did her in. it was either scuttled or the torpedo that struck the rear of the ship jammed the rudder into the one of the propellers
Oh really
Brian Hill yep.
Derek Wall Funny. I read that suction currents is just a myth. Mythbusters actually tested it a few years ago and it doesn't happen. They used an old trawler in a shallow harbor. Charles Joughin rode the sinking Titanic down like an elevator and wasn't sucked down.
Nice simulation ... but with a small error: the stern detached itself from the battleship when it was the first to be in contact with the seabed, more precisely the side of an underwater mountain; given the speed of the ship's descent towards the abyss, the shock was much more violent than when the ship overturned on the surface. It is true that the stern attachment has always been a weak point on all German battleships and cruisers of that time!
What a chad ship, not only did it essentially one shot the HMS hood, the pride of the royal Navy, but when the Bismarck sank it took a third-mile power slide down a mountainside
Rip to those who are still with her in the last almost 80 years
She was actually 55,000 tons but the Germans lied about her actual weight saying she was 35,000 tons because there was naval tonnage limit where a warship can’t weigh over 40,000 tons so the Germans said she was about 35,000 so odd tons
though you should not lie( or believe stupid propaganda
You think the nazis would have been concerned about limits and who was going to inforce this...
No. Germany was not bound by the Washington or London naval treaty and Versailles forbid any replacement battleship to be above 10,000 tons which is impossible for a battleship to be a battleship with that kind of restriction. Germany did not give two shits, once they broke the naval terms, they went full ahead.
Not quite. Bismarck had displacement of 41000 t empty and 50000 t loaded.
I wonder how long those still trapped in air pockets below the decks survived. Were any of them still alive when the ship impacted on the the sea floor? If they were, it must've been absolutely horrifying to realize you were miles below the surface with no possible hope of escape.
+360Nomad I think that the pressure of the water at 4700 meters under the surface is too heavy, in my opinion, they were already dead
chuch mognis Well Bismarck was very heavily armored so some air pockets deep within the ship could've been protected at first. Although jf there were any air pockets, most, if not all of them would've ruptured when the ship impacted onto the sea floor. Hopefully, the crew would've been rendered unconscious by the Bends and never even felt it.
+360Nomad Bismarck was actually scuttled by its surviving crew before they abandoned ship and surrendered to the British.
You get the bends during rapid assent from depth not going down. If the compartment was seal they would have been alive until either running out of air or the compartment ruptured due to extreme pressure
360Nomad any compartments that still had air would have imploded before she hit bottom
Even after such a nose dive Bismarck's hull stayed in one piece
+ME262MKI
For the most part. A large portion of the stern past the after perpendicular sheered off during the sinking.
In 100,000 years, the merfolk, now rulers of the planet, will tell of the calamity caused by the war in Heaven.
Same
Probably the most famous survivor from this shipwreck was not even human. He was a cat. 'Unsinkable Sam' they called him. He was owned by an unknown crewman aboard the ship, and was found hours later floating on a piece of wreckage.
Unsinkable Sam is about as real as dragons at the end of the map. He is composite of like 3 cats and some embellishment by sailors. The picture of him does not match the description of Bismarck's cat. It may have been fished out but the whole multiple shipwrecks thing is not true. But there have been cats that survived multiple shipwrecks. And many didn't. Titanic's cat Jenny had kittens shortly after being transferred from Olympic and brought her kittens to land in Southampton. She and all kittens survived. One fireman saw her leave and took it as a bad omen and left Titanic along with Jenny. Hood exploded with several cats aboard.
R.I.P for the people on it

The gun turrets are not attached to the ship. Their weight keeps them in place, until the ship is inverted....
Imagine an animal seeing this, it wouldn’t know it but it probably wouldn’t know that it just witnessed one of the greatest battleships ever hitting the sea floor, if it could see at all but it would definitely hear it.
Yep... It probably wouldn't know...
Ha the bismarck did not weigh 35.000 tons it weighed 50.000 tons
+Tara Motley well remember that she capsized and the turrets fell out of the barbettes, each turret weighs about 1500 tonnes each so 50,000 minus 1500 (x4) is about 6000 tons gone from the weight, or about 44,thousand tons, the superstructure was also ripped off, which also weighed quite a bit. i think the narrator took these into account to the "35 thousand ton missile"
Tara Motley [Laughs in German Propaganda Tonnage]
That's what the Germans told the public it weighed. In order to make it seem like they were keeping to the terms of the Versailles Treaty.
Only ten minutes. My God, there may have been crewmen still alive when she hit bottom. What a nightmare.
unlikely. if the pressure dont kill you you'd get knocked out by whatever interior or debris flying around
@@provetamin How could the pressure not kill you? No compartment is going to withstand the 7,000 or so psi at that depth and obviously no humans would either.
It had to be a truly frightening experience as im scared to death of open water and ships but the way he described it makes me have nightmares. 😬
There is only suction when a large vessel sinks fast. And drags all that water with.
Halloween Christmas which is exactly what happened sherlock...
Bro I’m happy bismarck didnt capsize even after it goes deep in the mud

*Salutes*
41,700 without fuel ammo and stores, but i do predict by 2035 she will be up to 57,000. as the hull slid the bow turned and headed west, lol even sunk she was still making for Brest, badass ship!
johnnymarv1 Uh, heading west would take her away from Brest...jus sayin...
At 1:16 the hull hit the admiral's bridge with such force the bridge was flipped upside down.
-Be smart-
*BISMARCK*
Yet, to this day, there her hull sits in ONE PIECE (ok minus the stern) a tribute to just how well built this awesome ship was. It didn't bend, buckle or collapse and is, technically, re-floatable.
@@basil9973 according to Ballard, no torpedo breeched the hull of the ship. He went inside the torpedo bulkhead through a hole which was created when Bismark drug across one of its main batteries on the sea bed. They may have breeched the outter hull of the ship but never the inner hull. Bismarck had a torpedo belt with torpedo bulkheads, which were more than likely filled with sea water, one reason to sit the ship lower in the water to provide a smaller target, and to reduce damage from torpedo hits. That being said, there is no doubt there were tears in the welds from those strikes. The only men to know honest to god what happend to that ship are all dead and gone, all thats left is speculation.
@@powderb2009 Without speculation, the only logical solution besides the inspection of the ship's hull is that only the scuttling itself caused the sinking of the Bismarck.
@@powderb2009Many breached the outer hull. Which still blows up vital parts, however the citadel and it's torpedo bulkhead was undamaged. A few scratches near torpedo damage on the outer hull, so her loss of buoyancy was most like through scuttling, probably a small charge on some large seawater cooling loops. That would do it. Blowing through the double bottom would take a main gun shell worth of explosives. And you open the bulkhead hatches so it floods the whole central area.
Oh come people! Let’s use some common physics. At that depth any trapped air volume would be 1/500th the size it was on the surface. Any compartment that had air in it and was watertight would have collapsed on way down. So everyplace on the wreck is at 500 atmospheres. No human can survive that pressure....all were dead long before ship hit bottom. And they were still in tact.
Bismarck will last another 500 years due to the steel being so thick
🤨
As a pro diver pointed out, gradual increase in pressure would not manifest itself as the bends but instead intoxication. When the pressure increases enough, oxygen starts to become intoxicating so the last seconds of existence inside the ship would have been blissful if they escaped drowning. And for those whose compartments impolded, the implosion kills you instantly.
The Bismarck was scuttled and most of the crew made it out despite the horrific damage. The British were so resentful for destrying the Hood that they left most of the crew to die to hypothermia. Little to none resque effort was made.
In reality, HMS Dorsetshire started picking up survivors. About 100. They would’ve picked up more but there was a report of U-Boats in the area. The Royal Navy had to protect their big ships so they ordered them to withdraw from the area away from any possible U-Boats.
That’s war. Your own ships and men must come first.
@@raflaughter3474 You know as well as I that this was just an excuse. They left hundreds to the sea on purpose. The whole mission was just a vengeance for Hood.
@@marttiinnanen4911 No. I told you the reason. They had reports of U-Boats in the area and they were forced to leave. The German Navy ordered U boats in the area to assist Bismarck in any way they could so it’s clear there were some in the general area. U Boat war diaries confirm they received orders.
So you are completely wrong in your theory. Over 100 survivors were picked up and were POW’s for the rest of the war.
@@marttiinnanen4911 And the mission to seek out and sink Bismarck was begun long before Hood was even sunk. So once again, that proves your theory as wrong.
@@raflaughter3474 LOL yeah, they mobilised the entire navy to hunt a single ship after Hood was sunk. So no, it didn't start long before. Bismarck was of course a target but it was not a blood hunt like after sinking the Hood.
Imagine being in some air tight room all the way down. Damn
Highly unlikely, people were alive when it hit the bottom.
Poor thing...
to hell with it
It is he, Sabaton even said he, he was made to rule the waves across the seven seas, King of the waves
If that thing reached the Atlantic, then it would’ve caused hell onto the Atlantic Aid routes. And after that, Britain would’ve lost the war and America would have to deal with a fully communist Europe by the start of the cold war. To hell with the Bismarck.
Thank you but I am not dead yet

This documentary is from I think 2000. Computers then could not handle that kind of detail. Look at the quality of the model: it looks like it’s made from plastic/rubber.

Impossible.
It took about 15 minutes for Bismarck to hit bottom, and NO ONE was alive after the first minute, perhaps two, after it went under.

Pure "Propaganda" the Bismarck was NEVER sunk, it was built soo well
that it was actually unsinkable but since she was
disabled,surrounded,outnumbered and not going to sink the German Captain
scuttled her to make sure that she did not end up in British hands.
Unfortunately almost all her crew was abandoned in the ocean to die by
the Brits who angry and vengeful about the HMS Hood losing all her crew
(1,418) except for 3 men because the Bismarck scored a direct hit on the
Hood's magazine causing a complete denotation and instant destruction
of the ship. 111 men of the Bismarck were rescued before the Brits
commanded that no more survivors be saved. Today the history books say
that the British ships had to leave because a German U-Boat was spotted
but this is pure lies.
Want to know ow what other ship was "unsinkable"? The titanic. Would you mind telling me what happened to it again. All ships are sinkable
Well, the ship was unsinkable by artillery fire, that's for sure. No amount of british artillery could breach both its belt and deck armor, and the citadel armor underneath. However, the ship was completely disabled and decimated. All its offensive capabilities, all its artillery and its propulsion were disabled and not recoverable on open sea. While not sunk, the Bismarck was thoroughly defeated. Any why would she be ashamed of it. She destroyed a capital ship, massively damaged one of Britain's newest battleships, suffered little damage in return, and was then almost literally gang-raped by every ship and plane the Royal Navy could put to sea or air.
Soap
Except for the Bismarck. She was practically raped from the air and an entire fleet of British ships BUT SHE DID NOT SINK get that through your feeble brain. She had to be scuttled by her own crew.
SINK

2.
to fall, drop, or descend gradually to a lower level:
The river sank two feet during the dry spell.
3.
to settle or fall gradually, as a heavy structure:
The tower is slowly sinking.
4.
to fall or collapse slowly from weakness, fatigue, distress, etc.:
He gasped and sank to his knees.
5.

the sun sinks in the west.
7.
to penetrate, permeate, or seep (usually followed by in or into):
