After that they disabled another RN battleship "Prince of Wales" one shot hitting the bridge killing all there but the captain.
A lot of that had to do with PRINZ EUGEN. When HOOD and PRINCE OF WALES closed on the morning of the 24th, EUGEN and BISMARCK had changed position, with EUGEN ahead. The British engaged EUGEN, thinking she was BISMARCK [same silhouette], giving BISMARCK at least several minutes to lay her guns, while EUGEN, which hit HOOD at some 12 miles plus with 8” sent Bismarck her fire control data. HOOD was sunk within five salvoes from BISMARCK. EUGEN’S gunnery officer has never gotten the credit he should have.
