Actually, Cameron *has* already done his part to lessen the English role in sinking the Bismarck. He and a crew went down and did an extensive survey of the Bismarck wreck, which was shown on the Discovery HD channel. The survey included an ROV that went inside. The conclusion of the experts along with the expedition: Bismarck was scuttled by the crew, not sunk by torpedoes.
