Sink the Bismarck

These were all the aircraft stationed on Ark Royal during the chase of the Bismarck, 54 in total. But will they fit on the deck? Definitely no. So at least, I will have to fold some of the wings, 

Swordfishes and Fairey Fulmars formed the long arm of the Ark

The Hood, the first victim of the Bismarck

The Hood sank after being hit by a lucky shot from the Bismarck. She sank within minutes, taking down almost all hands.
