Did you know! HMS Rodney’s massive 16-inch guns fired so heavily at the German battleship Bismarck in 1941 that the blast shockwaves sheared off rivets and severely damaged her own hull.

Great ship, beautiful and stylish

Famously helped sink the #Bismarck in May 1941

Interesting arrangement with all 9 x 16" guns at the front

Len Nicholl was a Royal Marine, whose family home in Plymouth was razed to the ground by enemy bombs. Aboard battleship HMS Rodney, Len would ultimately get a close-up view of Bismarck's destruction #OTD 1941. Here's some of his testimony www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUOF...
