Actually the Nevada was sunk, but then risen and retrofitted for battle, where then after the war was used as a test sight for Nuclear Bombs, that still took a week to sink.
@@dieHeroNevada was the only ship to actually get under way at pear harbor she did take damage but it wasn't bad so the captain decided to run her aground to keep it from sinking in the harbor like the others.

The Eugen wasn't sunk by the bomb. It survived both the airburt test and the underwater test, then it was towed to Kwajalein Atoll where it capsized and sank 5 months later.
@@Average_German I mean, I can see where the other side is comming from with their argumentation. Prinz Eugen got her superstructure beat up pretty bad, but that doesn't usually sink ships. But she was also slowly taking on water, I think it was the stuffing sockets of her propeller shaftes that got damaged, either way, she kept on taking water for five moths before she finally capsized. And the reason why no one ever tried to repair the leakage was the radiation caused by the nuke tests. So, in a way, it was the nukes who sank her.
Nevada purposely beached herself at Pearl harbor to keep from sinking, continued to fight as a shore battery, was repaired and returned to the fight and fought the Japanese in the pacific, then was used as a test ship for not one, but two nuclear bombs and still didn't think and was finally sunk by a bunch of torpedoes.

You're correct on Yamato, Prinz Eugene, USS Arizona, and Bismarck. But USS Nevada and Prinz Eugene were both part of an experiment by America. They took them to the Marshall Islands in bikini atoll. And dropped nukes on them to see the power of the nukes. Eventually both ships sank because radiation was so high that they couldn't keep them afloat afterwards. Prinz Eugene sank due to a leak in her hull. And Nevada was sunk by an air torpedo but not by Japan. The war was over. King George V I'm pretty sure either got sold for scrap or was sunk during the battle of the Coral sea. And by the way Prinz Eugene is a heavy cruiser that escorted Bismarck but continued the mission because Bismarck couldn't. She was too damaged and was eventually sunk.
Actually it was, Prinz Eugen was seized by the Americans after the war and was one of the test ships at Bikini Atoll, she was damaged during the tests, and would sink several months later

Nevada has only receved a lot of damage by the torpedo but she wasn't sunk during ww2 she has sunked after ww2 near Honolulu because becausdshe cost a lot for repair(sorry for bad english i am french)

Bismarck sunk cuz her crew decided to scuttle her before the torpedo and Bismarck the greatest strongest toughest feared battleship at all time only Bismarck experience getting chase by almost entire Royal fleet available forces
And the Mightiest Ship that withstand almost the entire Royal Navy....Chase by 98ships and 8 subs...... After being beaten up by King George V.....It refused to Sink ...... King of Ocean not Yamato
@@juliusvictordomingo702 no, the Bismarck would've sustained a shit ton of Torpedos because of it'd design, but the crew knew it's gonna sink eventually, so they sunk it themselfs
Funnily enough both Prinz Eugen and the Nevada survived two nuclear bombs. The only reason Prinz Eugen sunk was because she sprung a leak from poor maintenance and was to radioactive too be fixed.
Actually the Yamato didn't sink by the US Torpedo bombers and Dauntless they damaged it and caused a breach or some sort but the Japanese Sunked by two Torpedos.
The Bismarck didn’t sunk from that torpedo, what a bullshit! The Bismarck was hunted for weeks when a bi plane finally found her, they shoot multiple torpedos and only 1 hit in the rudder so she can’t steer no more, the Royal Navy ( 25 ships like destroyers, warships and a aircraft carrier shoot for 2 days straight! After the crew of the Bismarck know they have no more shells they decided to bust the ship so the enemy will not have a chance to inspect this masterpiece! RIP to all sailors
right, I suspect. If Bismarck was hit by a torpedo first and didn't sink, it means that the torpedo didn't penetrate the second layer of the hull. With this, Bismarck didn't sink because it was torpedoed
There wasn’t much of a ship after the Royal Navy crippled the thing, there was no superstructure and it had raging fires. The Royal Navy didn’t really need to capture the thing, they had the better technology than the Germans. The Royal Navy had better radar, range finders, anti aircraft systems the Bismarck Only had size
@@apersondoingthings5689 the British admirals feared this ship because it was one of the best that’s why they had to use all their available ships even the ones from convoys got called to action after they found out that the Bismarck was on her way to enter the Atlantic seas, I agree that the royal navy got better radar and range finders but they’re ships need to be closer to any targets to hit, most of the German battleships got more range and the accuracy of the shells were better than any royal navy ship could reach at this time so I can’t really understand most of your words! I guess it’s just the propaganda you learned instead of looking at the facts
Prinz Eugen is a Heavy Cruiser, got the sinking right, Nevada was sunk by interior explosions after tanking 2 nuclear blasts and a lot more, sunk by Japanese torpedo bombers in Pearl harbor only to be risen again for revenge and stronger, Bismarck was scuttled and not even the torpedoes could sink her, all her guns were taken out but she wouldn't sink, so she was scuttled to avoid british capture
OKAY. If you don't mind, I'm gonna fix your whole short; KMS Prinz Eugen - Sunk in Operation Crossroads (American Atomic Bombs) USS Arizona - Sunk by a B5N2 after it dropped bombs into her forward magazine. KMS Bismarck - Scuttled by her own crew, NOT A TORPEDO. USS Nevada - Sunk by American torpedo bombers only after being hit my two atomic bombs and 16-inch gunfire from USS Iowa. (EMPHASIS ON AMERICAN TORPEDO BOMBERS.) HMS King George V - Sold for Scrap IJN Yamato - Sunk by American Torpedo Bombers and Dive Bombers during Operation Ten-Go.
OKAY if you don’t mind I’m gonna fix your comment. The Bismarck WASNT SCUTTLED idk if you’re a weraboh or a Neo Nzi but it’s literally Been proven hundreds of times that the KGV Rodney and dorchestshire all hit the Bismarck numerous times, eventually taking out all the guns and destroying the bridge which also took out the captain, the scuttle charges where placed when the ship was already sinking and didn’t go off because 20 minutes before they where meant to explode the dorchestshire hit and sunk the Bismarck with its torpedoes. There’s literally documentary’s and eye witness reports.
@@ddoubleg I'm a Teaboo. We're both wrong actually. Both the Germans and the British sank the Bismarck. *The Wreck of DKM Bismarck* A Marine Forensics Analysis by James Cameron Robert O. Dulin, Jr. William H. Garzke, Jr. William Jurens Kenneth M. Smith, Jr. "With the bridge personnel no longer responding after 0920, CDR Hans Oels, the executive officer, took command of the ship and decided to issue an order to abandon and scuttle the ship when he left Damage Control Central around 0930." -Page 28 "There is enough evidence to indicate that he ordered the ship scuttled to prevent her boarding by the British" - Page 50 ""The German Navy, prompted by memories of the scuttling of High Seas Fleet ships interned at Scapa Flow after the end of World War One and the Graf Spee and Montivideo, Uruguay in 1939, had provided scuttling charges and timers in major vital spaces on the Bismarck. This information was provided by Lt. Gerhard Junack, who set charges in the middle engine room, and Seaman Josef Statz in correspondence with author Bill Garzke. Scuttling of Bismarck to speed an inevitable sinking was likely and eminently probable." - Page 50 "Late in the final engagement, the Bismarck was defeated, sinking as the result of uncontrollable progressive flooding, and virtually defenseless. The Executive Officer, CDR Hans Oels, ordered the scuttling of the ship. -- "Measure V [V = 'Versunken']" -- and the charges were detonated shortly after 1020. By 1035, the ship had assumed a heavy port list, capsizing slowly and sinking by the stern. The bow disappeared about 1040." -Page 51
Bismarck's sinking was a result of damage taken from KGV, PoV, Rodney, Ark Royal, Dorsershire + Scuttling. Nevada was sunk the same way as Prinz Eugen, during the operation crossroads
fun story the Bismarck was so sturdy that there were many ships firing for hours to try and sink it, most ships left with gun barrels melted and glasses broken from firing so much
he is the only legendary ship with a 4 x 15 inch cannon and is one of the most respected battleships in World War 2 including 1 Yamato , 2 missauries , 3 bismarck
Yamato needs a 9x18 Ichi cannon to be able to score a respected battleship and the USS Missauri needs 9x16 inches to be respected by the world and Bismarck is only 8x15 inches. And many British warships have cannons like this but are considered normal battleships
@@moontonbelike8655 Oh crap a wehraboo. Don't you know this Polish destroyer Piorun that charged at Bismarck which is 3 times its length 20 times it weight. It opened fire and taunted *"I AM A POLE"* while bismarck couldnt even hit it
actually if you watch the history Channel enough you'll probably learn that the Bismarck was more than likely scuttled because of the way it sank. if it was sank by a torpedo it would have listed to one side and hit the bottom either upside down or on its side, however it is laying on the bottom of the ocean on its belly meaning it sank straight down which could only mean one thing, the ship was scuttled by the Germans.
The Bismark was sunk due to a combination of Torpedos that were launched from the cruiser dorsetshire, and gunfire from the HMS Rodney battleship, and the HMS King George V.
(omg I'm getting tired of typing this) The Bismark was sunk due to a combination of torpedos launched from different ships, gunfire from the HMS Rodney and HMS King George V. But she was ultimately sunk from a torpedo launched from the cruiser dorsetshire.
@CCCP The crew then deployed several explosive devices (Measure V) which, with a nine-minute delay, destroyed the Bismarck's seawater cooling outlets in the bottom of the hull. In addition, all watertight compartments along the shaft tunnels have been opened to allow the intruding water to quickly flood the ship. This also explains why the Bismarck sank over the stern.
@CCCP In the german texts are still standig / German Wikipedia the combination of the sinking/ self-detonation with the additional torpedo hits led to the sinking of the BB. You also have to consider that the crew had no choice and had to sink the battleship as quickly as possible to increase their chances of survival so that the shelling would stop
On another note, the KMS Prinz Eugen was never sunk by a nuclear nor atomic weapon. It was rendered stuck after a torpedo bomber attack. That led to about 50 casualties and struck the ship in its stern, it was later scuttled after the un repairable damage
If there’s anything I’ve learned from world of warships, it’s that torpedoes are literally the only conventional way of sinking battleships unless you have a LARGER BATTLESHIP. You’d realistically do such insignificant damage that you’d run out of shells before you sunk it
Yes, that's very logical. Maybe because Bismarck's bullets ran out. At first Bismarck was hit by a torpedo and it didn't penetrate the 2nd Bismarck hull armor until the crew of the ship exploded the hull which only had 1 layer so it sank.
1: Prinz Eugen is a Heavy Cruiser, not a battleship 2: The torpedo that hit Bismarck was only to fasten the sinking. Bismarck was already sinking due to both the Royal Navy shooting at it for 100 minutes and the scuttling charge from the crew
You should probably give more details cause all of these ships crews deserve better than saying 1 torpedo bomber most took a full day of air raids to take out
The Bismarck was doomed by one torpedo, not sunk by mobility wise it doomed it The Yamato was sunk in around two hours, fighters arriving around 12.30 and the ship catastrophically exploded with sinking around 14.30. So the biggest surface conbat ship in history took two hours to sink for around 10 planes at most
@@nahuelleandroarroyo 10 planes on all but Yamato 10 planes was the average take down rate and why are you trying to call these thousands of men useless you degenerate piece of crap
Actualy, nevada sunk cause of 2 nuclear bombs but it didnt sunk yet but they use all of the us battleships to sunk it but it didnt work, so they torpedo is then it finaly sunk
Bismarck would have sunk even if the scuttling charges were not detonated. All that they did was speed up the process, as Bismarck was already sinking when they were detonated.
@@dannyfat8554 to my knowledge, the British had no intention of capturing Bismarck. They had orders to sink her. On page 50 of “The Wreck of DKM Bismarck - A Marine Forensics Analysis” it states the following, “Bismarck unquestionably would have sunk due to progressive flooding hours after the battle ended. By 0930, CDR Oels heard no response from the Bridge and he knew that the ship was defenseless… There is enough evidence to indicate that he ordered the ship scuttled to prevent her boarding by then British and to end the agony of the prolonged battering by British shellfire that was hindering escape into the sea.” So, while the Germans believed boarding was a possibility, I can’t find anything saying that the British had intentions to board her. There were even points where British ships were firing point blank into the Bismarck. Even if the Bismarck was boarded, she was still taking on water, which raises another question whether or not the British would have been able to save her after boarding.
@@ConnorGVR I agree, she was indeed hit my many shells and torpedoes. But they did not sink her, in the end the decision to scuttle the steel beast was made, and she was scuttled. If I remember correctly the order was from the head of engineering, who, at the time, was the highest ranked surviving crewman.
@@ConnorGVR the torpedoes indeed did cause the KMS Bismarck to begin sinking, however Dorsetshire's torpedoes did not cause the bismarck to sink, not necessarily. When a ship scuttles, the crew only do so when either the ship is at risk of falling into enemy hands, or, as in the case of the bismarck, was too damaged to continue fighting, and usually results in a ceasefire, due to the enemy in a sense surrendering. Although you were correct on the torpedo bit, once again, the crew scuttled the beast, as they were just barely afloat, had already endured multiple days of either fighting or running and had lost many lives, they had no reason to fight on.
Why are people saying that the Prinz Eugen was sunk by a torpedo lol. She survived 2 atomic bombs and suffered only a small leak, she couldn’t be repaired however due to the radioactive contamination. She eventually capsized and sank while the US were trying to beach her.
Technically no it was not. A cruisers called the dorsetshire launched the final attack by sending a torpedo at the Bismark, which ultimately destroyed it
The Nevada took multiple torpedoes to sink her after 2 nuclear bombs failed to sink her. One of those was involved in the test that ended up sinking the Prinz Eugen
Thats a wehraboo cope, Rodney and KGV turned it into a non functioning hulk that was slowly sinking, it would've gone down to the seafloor no matter what the crew did, never mind the fact that they had way bigger fish to fry than scuttling it such as trying to not die
Nevada: Damaged by IJN torpedo, kicked ass at Normandy and the Pacific campaign, nuked twice, target practice for Iowa, then finally put down by US torpedo. Put some respect in that name
Bismarck was already sinking before the crew even scuttled it, but they do that so the battleship don't fall into allies hands, Bismarck was a strong battleship,and also the most feared, although it was not the strongest
Bro Bismarck was dogshit, it had the armour layout of a WW1 battleship, just faster. Hell limit Bismarck’s speed and throw her into a 1v1 against Warspite and Bismarck will lose
Fact check: Bismark was scuttled. The hull where the torpedoes hit wasn’t punctured. Survivors from Bismark stated that their final orders were to set charges and blow the ship up, that way the British would stop firing at them.
yamato was destroyed when torpedo bombers realised its torpedo belt was too thick and fully protected against them so they started droping them on the armoured parts of the deck such as the turrets causing the ammo caches to explode under the turrets
Good video but the only two historical inaccuracies I can see if that Prinz Eugen was a Heavy Cruiser not a Battleship and that Bismarck was not sunk by a torpedo plane but her rudder was crippled by it so she couldn’t steer. It took KGV, Dorset-shire, Norfolk and and Rodney almost 2 hours of constant bombardment to finally send Bismarck to the bottom with (depending on who you ask) the German crew placing scuttling charges but whether they went off or not is unknown
Why was the Prinz Eugen sunk? Handed over to the Americans as a war prize and given hull number IX-300, she was sunk in an atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Today, her wreck is a popular dive attraction in shallow water at Kwajalein Atoll. This book provides more than just a complete record of Prinz Eugen's career.
You're missing one crucial fact that the Nevada was raised back up refitting with new heavier armor fitted with heavier fire power and fought the rest of wwii In the pacific and then survived a barrage of the us navy fire power including the hydrogen bomb the hydrogen bomb couldn't even sink her and if you think about it the USS Nevada was the only battleship in battleship row to make it out of the harbor and fight planes in open waters just goes to show how well the us built the USS Nevada

Bismarck sunk cuz her crew decided to scuttle her before the torpedo and Bismarck the greatest strongest toughest feared battleship at all time only Bismarck experience getting chase by almost entire Royal fleet available forces
And the Mightiest Ship that withstand almost the entire Royal Navy....Chase by 98ships and 8 subs......
After being beaten up by King George V.....It refused to Sink ......

Print Eugen isn't a battleship and the Bismarck wasn't sunk by the British, the German crew destroyed it themselfs so the British couldn't claim it
So they just give-up and I thought they've fight till the end, the British sunk the Bismarck by the torpedoes on there cruisers
@@juliusvictordomingo702 no, the Bismarck would've sustained a shit ton of Torpedos because of it'd design, but the crew knew it's gonna sink eventually, so they sunk it themselfs
Nevada was actually repaired and later used as target for nuclear testing
The nukes didn't even sink her it also took 2 hours of shelling and torpedoes
@@ethanluke6725it was actually almost 5 days of naval gun fire
Funnily enough both Prinz Eugen and the Nevada survived two nuclear bombs. The only reason Prinz Eugen sunk was because she sprung a leak from poor maintenance and was to radioactive too be fixed.
I'm pretty sure this video got all the history people angry
Nah it’s just funny- “diver plane” 😂
Nevada sunk by Jap torp during Pearl Harbour 💀 tf is wrong with this vdo
Actually the Yamato didn't sink by the US Torpedo bombers and Dauntless they damaged it and caused a breach or some sort but the Japanese Sunked by two Torpedos.
The Bismarck didn’t sunk from that torpedo, what a bullshit!
The Bismarck was hunted for weeks when a bi plane finally found her, they shoot multiple torpedos and only 1 hit in the rudder so she can’t steer no more, the Royal Navy ( 25 ships like destroyers, warships and a aircraft carrier shoot for 2 days straight! After the crew of the Bismarck know they have no more shells they decided to bust the ship so the enemy will not have a chance to inspect this masterpiece! RIP to all sailors
right, I suspect. If Bismarck was hit by a torpedo first and didn't sink, it means that the torpedo didn't penetrate the second layer of the hull. With this, Bismarck didn't sink because it was torpedoed
Wheraboo spotted... watch the video about the myths of Bismarck by drachinifel.
@@chaosacsend9653 Troll elsewhere I read books instead of the propaganda videos they show
There wasn’t much of a ship after the Royal Navy crippled the thing, there was no superstructure and it had raging fires. The Royal Navy didn’t really need to capture the thing, they had the better technology than the Germans. The Royal Navy had better radar, range finders, anti aircraft systems the Bismarck Only had size
@@apersondoingthings5689 the British admirals feared this ship because it was one of the best that’s why they had to use all their available ships even the ones from convoys got called to action after they found out that the Bismarck was on her way to enter the Atlantic seas, I agree that the royal navy got better radar and range finders but they’re ships need to be closer to any targets to hit, most of the German battleships got more range and the accuracy of the shells were better than any royal navy ship could reach at this time so I can’t really understand most of your words! I guess it’s just the propaganda you learned instead of looking at the facts
Fun fact:USS NEVADA SURVIVED PEARL HARBOR
Prinz Eugen is a Heavy Cruiser, got the sinking right, Nevada was sunk by interior explosions after tanking 2 nuclear blasts and a lot more, sunk by Japanese torpedo bombers in Pearl harbor only to be risen again for revenge and stronger, Bismarck was scuttled and not even the torpedoes could sink her, all her guns were taken out but she wouldn't sink, so she was scuttled to avoid british capture
Prinz euigen was a heavy cruiser and no we didn't nuke it in war, we nuked it as part of a nuclear bomb testing program
Prinz Eugen-cruiser
Nevada- sunk by OUR torpedoes after it withstood two nukes
After this, humanity finally realized that “bigger” doesn’t always mean “better”

OKAY if you don’t mind I’m gonna fix your comment. The Bismarck WASNT SCUTTLED idk if you’re a weraboh or a Neo Nzi but it’s literally Been proven hundreds of times that the KGV Rodney and dorchestshire all hit the Bismarck numerous times, eventually taking out all the guns and destroying the bridge which also took out the captain, the scuttle charges where placed when the ship was already sinking and didn’t go off because 20 minutes before they where meant to explode the dorchestshire hit and sunk the Bismarck with its torpedoes.

"With the bridge personnel no longer responding after 0920, CDR Hans Oels, the executive officer, took command of the ship and decided to issue an order to abandon and scuttle the ship when he left Damage Control Central around 0930." -Page 28
"There is enough evidence to indicate that he ordered the ship scuttled to prevent her boarding by the British" - Page 50
""The German Navy, prompted by memories of the scuttling of High Seas Fleet ships interned at Scapa Flow after the end of World War One and the Graf Spee and Montivideo, Uruguay in 1939, had provided scuttling charges and timers in major vital spaces on the Bismarck. This information was provided by Lt. Gerhard Junack, who set charges in the middle engine room, and Seaman Josef Statz in correspondence with author Bill Garzke. Scuttling of Bismarck to speed an inevitable sinking was likely and eminently probable." - Page 50
"Late in the final engagement, the Bismarck was defeated, sinking as the result of uncontrollable progressive flooding, and virtually defenseless. The Executive Officer, CDR Hans Oels, ordered the scuttling of the ship. -- "Measure V [V = 'Versunken']" -- and the charges were detonated shortly after 1020. By 1035, the ship had assumed a heavy port list, capsizing slowly and sinking by the stern. The bow disappeared about 1040."
-Page 51
Bismarck's sinking was a result of damage taken from KGV, PoV, Rodney, Ark Royal, Dorsershire + Scuttling.
Nevada was sunk the same way as Prinz Eugen, during the operation crossroads
fun story the Bismarck was so sturdy that there were many ships firing for hours to try and sink it, most ships left with gun barrels melted and glasses broken from firing so much
This glass breaking sounds like something Rodney's crew experienced a lot, huh
he is the only legendary ship with a 4 x 15 inch cannon and is one of the most respected battleships in World War 2
including 1 Yamato
, 2 missauries , 3 bismarck
Yamato needs a 9x18 Ichi cannon to be able to score a respected battleship and the USS Missauri needs 9x16 inches to be respected by the world and Bismarck is only 8x15 inches. And many British warships have cannons like this but are considered normal battleships
@@moontonbelike8655 warspite?
@@moontonbelike8655 Oh crap a wehraboo. Don't you know this Polish destroyer Piorun that charged at Bismarck which is 3 times its length 20 times it weight. It opened fire and taunted *"I AM A POLE"* while bismarck couldnt even hit it
actually if you watch the history Channel enough you'll probably learn that the Bismarck was more than likely scuttled because of the way it sank. if it was sank by a torpedo it would have listed to one side and hit the bottom either upside down or on its side, however it is laying on the bottom of the ocean on its belly meaning it sank straight down which could only mean one thing, the ship was scuttled by the Germans.
History good, but learn science next
The bismarck was scuttled
WRONG it wasn't scudled it was sunk by a torpedo you idiot
LOOK IT UP. IT SAYS THE BISMARK WAS SUNK.
Such extraordinary warships i gonna Miss this battleships for years to come as these in particular meet a menacing fate.
I'm pretty sure the Bismarck was scuttled and not sunk by the torpedos fired at it
I agree, from what I remember, the Bismarck fought in battle resulting in it's sinking.
Diving on the wreck confirmed scuttling.
@@stevenweaver3386 it didn’t confirm scuttling. It said the cause of sinking was inconclusive since most of the damage was buried under the sediment
The Bismark was sunk due to a combination of Torpedos that were launched from the cruiser dorsetshire, and gunfire from the HMS Rodney battleship, and the HMS King George V.
It would've been awesome to have a king George v museum

(omg I'm getting tired of typing this) The Bismark was sunk due to a combination of torpedos launched from different ships, gunfire from the HMS Rodney and HMS King George V. But she was ultimately sunk from a torpedo launched from the cruiser dorsetshire.
@@ConnorGVRBismarck scuttled himself
@@TallDwarfFromErebor Yes, but the actual thing that sunk it was a torpedo from the cruiser dorsetshire
The reason for the Bismarck is simple, half of the British naval fleet sank it.
The Nevada was sunk by America after we double tapped it with nukes and had other battleships bombard it for a few days
Being scrapped is probably the worst way for a battleship to go.
Bismarck destroyed his self...
@CCCP The crew then deployed several explosive devices (Measure V) which, with a nine-minute delay, destroyed the Bismarck's seawater cooling outlets in the bottom of the hull. In addition, all watertight compartments along the shaft tunnels have been opened to allow the intruding water to quickly flood the ship. This also explains why the Bismarck sank over the stern.
@CCCP In the german texts are still standig / German Wikipedia the combination of the sinking/ self-detonation with the additional torpedo hits led to the sinking of the BB. You also have to consider that the crew had no choice and had to sink the battleship as quickly as possible to increase their chances of survival so that the shelling would stop
@CCCP No, it was scuttled
James Cameron confirmed this when he found the wreck
@CCCP He found the wreck of the Bismarck and studied it

On another note, the KMS Prinz Eugen was never sunk by a nuclear nor atomic weapon. It was rendered stuck after a torpedo bomber attack. That led to about 50 casualties and struck the ship in its stern, it was later scuttled after the un repairable damage
huh? i dont remember eugen being scuttled. it got towed after the Operation Crossroads nuclear weapons test then capsized the 22nd of December 1946
First of all, it's a cruiser. Secondly, it surrendered to the US after world war ii.
Ah yes the notorious German Battleship Prinz Eugen
And ah yes then according to this video it's a battle ship apreantly there was a u.s battle ship name uss prinz eugen
Well, prinz eugen was once thought to be bismark by the british.
@@sm4sher45 still a heavy cruiser
If there’s anything I’ve learned from world of warships, it’s that torpedoes are literally the only conventional way of sinking battleships unless you have a LARGER BATTLESHIP. You’d realistically do such insignificant damage that you’d run out of shells before you sunk it
Its told that in reality the Bismarck was scuttled by his own crew not sunk by the english fleet
Yes, that's very logical. Maybe because Bismarck's bullets ran out. At first Bismarck was hit by a torpedo and it didn't penetrate the 2nd Bismarck hull armor until the crew of the ship exploded the hull which only had 1 layer so it sank.
In reality it was sinking no matter how you look at it, and was disarmed within the first 30 mins of the fight.
Uss Hamman (ww2) wassunk pulling the uss Yorktown (ww2)back to midway, uss Yorktown was also sunk with the uss hamman
DD got split in half
Hood so
one shot of the Bismarck and done
@Competitive Racist Prinz Eugen too. So why not add Hood there too?
It was a very lucky shot
1: Prinz Eugen is a Heavy Cruiser, not a battleship
2: The torpedo that hit Bismarck was only to fasten the sinking. Bismarck was already sinking due to both the Royal Navy shooting at it for 100 minutes and the scuttling charge from the crew
You should probably give more details cause all of these ships crews deserve better than saying 1 torpedo bomber most took a full day of air raids to take out
and the Bismarck 1 torpedo 💀
The Bismarck was doomed by one torpedo, not sunk by mobility wise it doomed it
The Yamato was sunk in around two hours, fighters arriving around 12.30 and the ship catastrophically exploded with sinking around 14.30. So the biggest surface conbat ship in history took two hours to sink for around 10 planes at most
@@nahuelleandroarroyo 10 planes on all but Yamato 10 planes was the average take down rate and why are you trying to call these thousands of men useless you degenerate piece of crap
Actualy, nevada sunk cause of 2 nuclear bombs but it didnt sunk yet but they use all of the us battleships to sunk it but it didnt work, so they torpedo is then it finaly sunk
the bismark was self scuttled
Bismarck would have sunk even if the scuttling charges were not detonated. All that they did was speed up the process, as Bismarck was already sinking when they were detonated.
@@pizzabob23 no probably not it would’ve been captured
@@dannyfat8554 to my knowledge, the British had no intention of capturing Bismarck. They had orders to sink her.
On page 50 of “The Wreck of DKM Bismarck - A Marine Forensics Analysis” it states the following, “Bismarck unquestionably would have sunk due to progressive flooding hours after the battle ended. By 0930, CDR Oels heard no response from the Bridge and he knew that the ship was defenseless… There is enough evidence to indicate that he ordered the ship scuttled to prevent her boarding by then British and to end the agony of the prolonged battering by British shellfire that was hindering escape into the sea.”
So, while the Germans believed boarding was a possibility, I can’t find anything saying that the British had intentions to board her. There were even points where British ships were firing point blank into the Bismarck. Even if the Bismarck was boarded, she was still taking on water, which raises another question whether or not the British would have been able to save her after boarding.
@@pizzabob23 oh ok sorry
Yamato has the worst experience of all ww2 💀
fr lol
I'm sorry to break it to you. But the KMS bismarck was damaged due to torpedoes, but then scuttled.
It was not scuttled. The KMS Bismark was sunk to a combination of torpedos hitting her, and gunfire from different ships like the HMS Rodney.
@@ConnorGVR I agree, she was indeed hit my many shells and torpedoes. But they did not sink her, in the end the decision to scuttle the steel beast was made, and she was scuttled. If I remember correctly the order was from the head of engineering, who, at the time, was the highest ranked surviving crewman.
@@getyeetedboi7369 Sorry for putting the f word. I was kinda upset
@@getyeetedboi7369 BUT, The KMS Bismark was sunk via torpedo launched from the British cruiser dorsetshire.
@@ConnorGVR the torpedoes indeed did cause the KMS Bismarck to begin sinking, however Dorsetshire's torpedoes did not cause the bismarck to sink, not necessarily. When a ship scuttles, the crew only do so when either the ship is at risk of falling into enemy hands, or, as in the case of the bismarck, was too damaged to continue fighting, and usually results in a ceasefire, due to the enemy in a sense surrendering. Although you were correct on the torpedo bit, once again, the crew scuttled the beast, as they were just barely afloat, had already endured multiple days of either fighting or running and had lost many lives, they had no reason to fight on.
The Bismarck sunk because the Germans on board sunk it them self before the British could do it the torpedo only damaged the driving capabilities

Nevada was refloated and upgraded, after the war it became a nuclear weapons test target. Even then, it took over a week to finally sink it.
The Nevada was sunk by US torpedoes, after withstanding 2 atomic bomb detonations and shelling from the Iowa class.

Bismarck was already sinking before the crew even scuttled it, but they do that so the battleship don't fall into allies hands, Bismarck was a strong battleship,and also the most feared, although it was not the strongest
Bro Bismarck was dogshit, it had the armour layout of a WW1 battleship, just faster. Hell limit Bismarck’s speed and throw her into a 1v1 against Warspite and Bismarck will lose
Fact check: Bismark was scuttled. The hull where the torpedoes hit wasn’t punctured. Survivors from Bismark stated that their final orders were to set charges and blow the ship up, that way the British would stop firing at them.
Omg look it up. It says that the Bismark was SUNK. NOT SCUTTLED
yamato was destroyed when torpedo bombers realised its torpedo belt was too thick and fully protected against them so they started droping them on the armoured parts of the deck such as the turrets causing the ammo caches to explode under the turrets
also, don't forget that poor damage control caused the fire and flooding damage to increase by tenfold.
Bro learned history at taco bell
Prince Eugen was escorting the Bismarck during the day it was sunk
Bismarck was actually scuttled
Uhm actually☝️🤓. The Bismark was sunk
Good video but the only two historical inaccuracies I can see if that Prinz Eugen was a Heavy Cruiser not a Battleship and that Bismarck was not sunk by a torpedo plane but her rudder was crippled by it so she couldn’t steer. It took KGV, Dorset-shire, Norfolk and and Rodney almost 2 hours of constant bombardment to finally send Bismarck to the bottom with (depending on who you ask) the German crew placing scuttling charges but whether they went off or not is unknown
Bismark was scuttled as the british caused loads of damage that she had basically no control of anything
Why was the Prinz Eugen sunk?
Handed over to the Americans as a war prize and given hull number IX-300, she was sunk in an atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Today, her wreck is a popular dive attraction in shallow water at Kwajalein Atoll. This book provides more than just a complete record of Prinz Eugen's career.
Me, an average HMS Hood ammo detonation enjoyer.
The Bismarck was flooded by its own crew to prevent the ship falling in to enemy hands
lets not forget about the Dunkerque , sunk by english during the german invasion just so the german couldnt have it
You're missing one crucial fact that the Nevada was raised back up refitting with new heavier armor fitted with heavier fire power and fought the rest of wwii In the pacific and then survived a barrage of the us navy fire power including the hydrogen bomb the hydrogen bomb couldn't even sink her and if you think about it the USS Nevada was the only battleship in battleship row to make it out of the harbor and fight planes in open waters just goes to show how well the us built the USS Nevada
