Bizmark Never Had a Chance

[Lt.Fillipidis]

I remember reading somewhere that it was almost impossible for a Battleship to sink another Battleship. Dunno if its true though.

Almost. With the exceptions of magazine explosions it is very rare for any surface ship to sink another one of equal size purely through flooding by shellfire. There is a fair chance that Bismarck would have sunk due to the uncontrolled fires raging everywhere, but the scuttling and torpedoes made sure of it.
