No, mate, that controversy is NOT resolved. :wink:
Well, this is a repost, Riga. There were comments in the first post but none about it not being a good image. It was noted when I first posted it that the swastika was backward, which I could care less about since that is a Nazi symbol. Nevertheless, I fixed it.
Also, Riga, it isn't about to be sunk. That's the point. She is only sighted. After that the British ships had to try to catch her. Then, of course, there was the aerial bombardment with only the very last bomb doing anything to impede Bismarck. So it was quite a while after she was spotted that she was engaged and finally sunk.
As regards surviors, Shooter, the British actually did pick up survivors but then took off before they got them all. There was no pressing reason to move off before finishing the job.
