Swordfish crews recall their torpedo attacks on Bismarck
t was a pivotal moment in the struggle between battleships and aircraft. The Royal Navy's biplane Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers were flung against Nazi Germany's finest battleship - the Bismarck - in a desperate bid to prevent it wreaking havoc on vital supply convoys. The Swordfish was under-rated. It represented the pinnacle of biplane technology. It was big. It was strong. It could fly in atrocious weather. Its nickname "Stringbag" was derived from its ability to carry almost anything. It was also fitted with a world-first - air-to-surface (ASV) radar. The Bismarck was a marvel of German engineering. It was big at 41,700 tons. It was fast at 30kts. It was heavily armed. It had modern anti-aircraft directors and guns. It also had a torpedo defence system capable of withstanding a 550lb TNT blast. The first clash came when nine Swordfish of HMS Victorious' 825 Naval Air Squadron found the Bismarck in the North Atlantic on May 24, 1941. The outcome was surprising. And held severe implications for Bismarck in the days to come.

Спасибо, парни! К сожалению, в связи с известными событиями, ковид у нас отменили только в новостях, но не в жизни. (((
Телегу настроил на "1 неделю". Но к разочарованию даже на этих каналах все новости перепащивают друг у друга, и оригинальных новостей и видео очень мало. По сути получается, что если видел один канал, то видел все (((
