    Remaking 1960's Sink the Bismarck?

    Considering everything that's been researched and/or uncovered about the German Battleship Bismarck in recent decades, how good would it be to incorporate that research into a remake of the 1960 movie "Sink the Bismarck"? While I do like the original 1960 movie, I also feel that a far more...

    Why wasn't the Johnny Horton Bismarck song included in the 1960 movie?

    It's only included in the US trailers for the film. Is it because it's a British film and the British either didn't want the song to be used in the film or was the movie completed and released before the song could be put in it? And since both were released in 1960, which was released first...

    In the 1960 movie "Sink the Bismarck", why doesn't the Hood's bow rise in the sky when she blows up?

    Like in this painting of the incident: Here is the clip from the movie:

    My RC Bismarck

    Here are a few pics of an ongoing project of mine. I have converted this model from the Tamiya 1:350 Tirpitz kit. As you can probably see, there are still a few things to be added, such as AA guns, the main mast, the false waves at the bow and stern and the bow Fylfot, but she's...

    Bismarck & Hood

    Did anyone else see the documentary on the Hood & Bismarck. My father and I saw the Bismarck portion, on Orange County PBS Station KOCE. The underwater images of the Bismarck were absolutely incredible.

    Anyone knows where I can get a picture of the Bismarck in her original colors before the transfer to Whits Star Line as the Majestic? Thanks!

    Bismarck/Majestic

    I feel this is one of White Stars greatest ships, even if it's not an original. What more information does anyone have? I would especially like to know more about the interiors (pictures anyone?) Thanks

    James Cameron & The Wreck of the Bismarck

    Hello all.. Last night I taped a two hour documentary on the Discovery Channel (which I watched today) on James Cameron's latest underwater expedition. This time to the wreck of the German WWII battleship Bismarck. It was most fascinating. Has anyone heard of this before? I guess I don't know...

    HMS Glowworm the forgotten Bismarck

    OK OK... this story doesn't really have much to do with Bismarck but I thought the title would get people's attention! Fact is, all the recent focus on Bismarck reminded me of an event that seems largely forgotten but to my mind is in some ways just as extraordinary... a tiny British...

    Cameron's BISMARCK expedition

    A wonderful special last night, courtesy the folks at DISCOVERY CHANNEL. I enjoyed the re-creations, animated sinking scenario, and best of all the ROV footage. The interior footage surely conveyed that..."WAR is a hungry beast that devours everything in it's path". My friend also could'nt...

    Battleship Bismarck the best according to wwwkbismarckcom

    I have read that the German battleship Bismarck was the most powerful battleship of her time. Literally as taken from www.kbismarck.com : "the Bismarck was the largest, most powerful, and for many, the most beautiful warship afloat." I have already read many things about the Bismarck on...

    The Bismarck

    Is it true that the German government does not allow the bismark to be salvaged? If this is true, this is fantastic. I've read it on this one site. I really get angry when i hear that ships like the Titanic are almost stripped down totally, with little to see. Very sad. And angry.

    A Night To Remember-Sink The Bismark connection

    A chum insisted the actor who portayed Lightoller in "A Night To Remember" also played an officer in the film "Sink The Bismark". Is this true? If so- what character did he play? regards Tarn Stephanos

    Hi all, just thought I'd chime in here and mention that today marked the 60th anniversary of the sinking of DKM Bismarck, taking all but 115 of her 2,200 man crew to the sea floor. She went down some 600 miles off Brest, France, and lies in 15,700 feet of water. Her wreck was discovered 8...
