>le british cucks still believe they sunk the Bismarck when all evidence points to scuttling by the crew.

How pathetic. Better remember the Hood ;)

Uh, that was a surface raider m8. It can operate alone.

It wasn't a real battleship, more of a battlecruiser.

Hey, the one times it see combat, it became one of two battleships to have successfully sunk an aircraft carrier.

It was a fucking tiny escort carrier though. Not even a light carrier.

escort carriers are cute

I love them

post 'em

Why did the crew scuttle the Bismark?

poor japs

How do the planes take off

Because it was sinking

It's ruder got fucked and it literally could not be steered.

this, it was spinning without control

all that because of a lucky Swordfish torpedo

Its being used as a ferry in that picture, the aircraft would be taken on and off using a crane. Usually a carrier that size would only operate a handful of Wildcats or Hurricanes.

There was no crew. All the crew were dead.

Nope, you're thinking of Scharnhorst-class. Bismarck and Tirpitz were real battleships. So was Scharnhorst arguably, despite weak main armament.

you are thinking about the pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee

That was Deutschland-class and they were clearly just heavy cruisers.

pocket battleships and it was raiding convoys in the south Atlantic

and pocket battleships are fast

>Wasn't even built to be an aircraft carrier

i don't get it

>pocket battleship
>not being battleships LITERALLY IN THE NAME
Pocket Battleships are literally just cruisers
