Denmark straight

[Mooncatt]

yeah in the film "sink the bismarck" there are two ships patrolling the Denmark straight in the hope the Bismarck will pass through there. i think they are the HMS Suffolk and Wessex im not sure. my question is are there actually any ships up there that might represent this?

If your interested in the adventure of the Bismark you can goto www.battleshipbismarck.info/section-1.htm (http://www.battleshipbismarck.info/section-1.htm) and this will give the day by day detail of it's adventure and ending. You can also got www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ships (http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ships) and look at each ship involved in WWII and follow each of their paths. I have other sites that I goto and print maps of convoy routes and WWII operations on both axis and allies sides so I know where to go and when to see the action. If I or anyone here can be of more help just hollar:up:

For information on the ships of the kriegsmarine just before and during WWII I went to
http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/ships/index.html you can click on the type of ship such as Battleship then it will give you a list of the names in that group. You can then see all the events that happened for that ship. Then you can goto the operations page to get the list of german invasion or sea operations of battles. http://www.german-navy.de/kriegsmarine/operations/index.html


The link below is a map of Operation Weserübung the invasion of Norway.

Here is the main link for Artic convoys and battles.

Scharnhorst's first wartime operation was a sweep into the Iceland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland)-Faroes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faroe_Islands) passage in late November 1939 with Gneisenau in which she sank the British Armed Merchant Cruiser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Merchant_Cruiser) HMS Rawalpindi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Rawalpindi)

For the Mediterranean Sea goers:
The naval Battle of Taranto took place on the night of 11 November (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_11) — 12 November (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_12) 1940 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940) during World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II). The Royal Navy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy) launched the first all-aircraft naval attack in history, flying a small number of aircraft from an aircraft carrier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_carrier) in the Mediterranean and attacking the Italian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy) fleet at Taranto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taranto). The effect of the British (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom) aircraft on the Italian warships led pundits around the world to predict the end of the "big gun" ship and the rise of naval air-power.
