Nice site. The Yamato and the Bismarck have always intrigued me and both fell victims to aircraft.

The Bismarck was extraordinarily unlucky. A torpedo jammed it’s rudder when it was only hours from air and submarine cover.

Extraordinary efforts were made by divers to fix it but to no avail. Sometimes I wonder if it was divine providence then again maybe just luck.
