Yep. Ark Royal launched a late evening strike in which Bismarck's rudder and steering gear were destroyed by a single torpedo from the attacking Swordfish aircraft. This really was the single biggest signal that airpower had rendered the battleship obsolete so far! Pearl Harbour would finally prove it.
