Prinz Eugen towing Bismarck?
A couple of years ago I saw a photograph in which was indicated that Prinz Eugen was towing Bismarck (I believe it was in the Baron´s book). It was during some exercises at the Baltic. I really do believe that the photo was a refueling process exercise. But well, the thing is: IF Lutjens never detac...

So, were the German Battlecruisers better? I guess we'll never know. Maybe you'd like to offer up some reasons for your conclusions, other than the fact that more of them blew up? Those aren´t my conclusion but of Campbell´s. As a matter of fact he start his First Chapter refering to these issues. ...

My dad who sailed on the Queen Mary (the ship used in the original 1972 movie) back in the 50ies told me that what happens in the Poseidon movie nearly happens for real. In WWII the QM was sailing with troops from NY to Great Britain when somekind of gigantic wave hit her starboard side and list her...

As I said, I don´t agree with Henson statements. On the contrary, I support the truth that says that Bismarck´s heavy armour in relation to her overall displacement makes her one of the great battleships of WWII.
