Macho,
Thanks, now I’m going to listen to “Sink the Bismarck” by Johnny Horton.(Liked it as kid in the 1970’s)
“In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees.........”
I prefer the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xupkULMTn1c
“The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea”
The Iowa class was capable of faster speeds. The New Jersey had a sustained run at almost 32 knots.
Our aircraft carriers were even faster.
