Description
Fully illustrated, the first visual and technical guide to the Allied warships that hunted down the famous German battleship Bismarck in May 1941.
The escape of the great German battleship Bismarck into its Atlantic hunting grounds, followed by the destruction in the Denmark Strait of HMS Hood, and the Royal Navy's subsequent, desperate hunt to intercept and destroy Bismarck,remains one of the most dramatic and famous episodes of World War II.
For the first time, this book presents a comprehensive visual and technical guide to the force that destroyed the Bismarck. Naval historian Angus Konstam presents details of all the Allied warships that took part, and 22 detailed colour profiles of how all the major ships appeared during the chase, plus the most important destroyers involved. He also examines the qualities and capabilities of the warships involved, and the state of weaponry and technology in mid-1941, especially the radar and aircraft that were key to the successful outcome of the chase, and recounts the story of the hunt, with a strategic-level map of the chase and the units involved.
Also featuring archive photos, data tables and newly commissioned artwork of key moments in the battle, this is a comprehensive guide to one of the most famous task forces of the war.
