And within a few days more, there will be yet another 80th anniversary of a sinking of a large ship in the same area. Northern Atlantic is a harsh environment even in peacetime. |

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm doth bond the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea. |

And within a few days more, there will be yet another 80th anniversary of a sinking of a large ship in the same area. And that would be today, actually. Auf wiedersehen, Bismarck! It took years of labour and tens of thousands of tons of steel to build, and over 2 000 men to crew her. And for all that effort, she fought just a single brief campaign on the Atlantic, sinking HMS Hood, before her time was done. In any case, here is Sabaton's tribute to this beast made of steel: YouTube link |
