Did the Bismarck Sink Any Ships?

On May 24, 1941, Germany's largest battleship, the Bismarck, sinks the pride of the British fleet, HMS Hood.

How many British ships did it take to sink the Bismarck?

"You must sink the Bismarck." Sixteen British warships joined the chase. The British Admiralty ordered them to hunt the Bismarck down, even if they risked running out of fuel. Finally, three of them cornered their enemy 300 miles off the Irish coast.

How many ships took down the Bismarck?

The much larger Royal Navy was able to assemble a force of six battleships and battlecruisers, two aircraft carriers, thirteen cruisers, and twenty-one destroyers to hunt Bismarck. Unfortunately, many of the larger ships were of World War I vintage, and could not catch up with the wounded, but still fast Bismarck.
