Sink The Bismarck — German Battleship — LEGO Fan Plans
- In May 1941, the German battleship Bismarck and the cruiser Prinz Eugen broke into the North Atlantic to raid Allied shipping.
- On May 24, at the Battle of the Denmark Strait, Bismarck sank the British battlecruiser HMS Hood and damaged HMS Prince of Wales, but was hit in return and began a running fight toward France.
- After a massive pursuit, HMS Ark Royal’s slow but rugged Fairey Swordfish torpedo-bombers struck on May 26, jamming Bismarck’s rudder.
- At dawn on May 27, Royal Navy battleships engaged; the cruiser HMS Dorsetshire delivered the final torpedoes as Bismarck’s crew scuttled the ship.
- This generator focuses on a LEGO diorama featuring the iconic participants: HMS Hood, HMS Prince of Wales, HMS Dorsetshire, Ark Royal’s Swordfish aircraft, and Bismarck.
