Dont laugh at my age. In 1968 I served aboard HMS Bulwark, there I met a guy called Dereck Shimankee or something soundalike. He told me that his father was a survivor from the Bismark and after being picked up and sent to a prison camp he stayed on in England after the war. He told me that his father said that the torpedoes from the Dorsetshire? went throught the Bismarks crew who were abandoning ship. I dont know - thats just what he told me. Dereck was a great guy and I hope he is still around.
