The British Navy got so incredibly lucky in one lucky hit that jammed the Bismark’s rudder. I sometimes wonder if it was divine intervention. Another couple of hours and it would have been under German Air umbrella.

Then again Hood was equally unlucky tho from what I have read, the Bismark would have sunk it anyway.

Reading about the battle of Midway, and numerous other critical battles in various wars, that thought has often crossed my mind.
