Subtitled: The Deep-Sea Discovery of an Epic Battle. In May 1941 the most dramatic sea battle of the Second World War took place. The protagonists were the two mightiest capital ships of the era - the German battleship Bismarck, and the British battlecruiser Hood. Their confrontation resulted in the total destruction of both warships and the loss of over 3,500 lives. In 2001 - the sixtieth anniversary of this apocalyptic battle - David Mearns led an expedition that discovered the wreck of Hood for the very first time and revisited the wreck of Bismarck. With Rob White tracing the history of these awe-inspiring vessels and the events that led to their fatal clash, Hood and Bismarck fully chronicles the progress and findings of this incredible mission.
