At 19:25 on May 26th
1941, the Ark Royal launched its Fairey Swordfish torpedo bombers for
an attack on the German battleship Bismarck. In a final
attack, almost in darkness at 21:05, a hit by a single torpedo from a
Swordfish of 818 NAS (piloted by John Moffat) jammed Bismarck’s rudder
and steering gear. Now unable to escape, Bismarck was sunk by HMS King
George V and HMS Rodney on the following day.
