“Sink the Bismarck” is actually pretty good and a totally Brit made movie I think. They did a good job and, am I correct in remembering that the movie actually inspired Johnny Horton to write that song. Anyway, that’s movie trivia and a great song too.

They Were Expendable - Very Accurate Navywise - John Ford movie. Best WWII Navy movie in my opinion.

***that the movie actually inspired Johnny Horton to write that song.***

I remember my dad singing a song with that tune (Sink the Bismark), but it was about John Paul Jones and his battles against the British.
