The HMS Hood, if that's what you're referring to did not sink the Bismarck and it took several British ships to sink it. The first nail in the coffin was a torpedo from an airplane that hit the rudder of the Bismarck and made it impossible to steer.

Right. She was finished off by two battleships, HMS King George V and HMS Rodney, and finally torpedoed by cruiser HMS Dorsetshire

Graf Spree. They named Spree candy after this vessel. The ship lasted approx 7 years after being launched, which is 5 more years than Montee Ball will last in the NFL.
