That hit caused casualties but it did not significantly affect the combat capability of POW. After Denmark Strait, POW re-engaged Bismarck twice. Bismarck didn't inflict any serious damage on POW, the loss of turret output was all self-inflicted, the complex turret interlocks jamming from lack of crew experience on board a ship rushed to sea before she was ready. |

Quote:Addressed Admiralty, C. in C. Home Fleet. XXXXXXXX. IMMEDIATE. Following received from H.M.S. PRINCE OF WALES Addressed C.S. 1 begins. A and B turrets in action. Y turret 2 guns in action. About 400 tons water in ship mainly abaft after bulkhead. Compartment above steering compartment flooded but steering gear in action. Estimated best speed 27 knots. T.O.O. 0720/24 Ends.
Nine guns in action, main directors operational, capable of 27 knots, a small amount of flooding.
Those are the salient facts, and they describe an operational battleship. As indicated by POW's decision to re-engage twice. Everything else in the report is just fluff. |
