Most naval experts were not actualy present.
Neither were the promoters of the Prinz Eugen theory. In fact no one knows for sure what the actual cause was. I've even heard the speculation that it was an accidental overram on the part of a Hood gunner. Do you think that's likely? Neither do I. The people who have done the most research involving all the available data generally agree that the best probability was a 38cm shell from Bismarck.
