HMS Rodney's top speed:

On trials:23,8 knots

In Service:23knots.

When hunting Bismarck 25+ knots on worn-out machinery.

I am not saying there were dark arts going in the engine room, but there were dark arts going on in the engine room.

In May of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship, they had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her deck were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees
Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship, the Hood
And every British seaman, he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismarck, the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down
The Hood found the Bismarck on that fatal day
The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away
"We gotta sink the Bismarck" was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away, the mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people "put every ship a-sail
'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea"
We'll find that German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
Hit the decks a-runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down
The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the mornin' sun
Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run
The admiral of the British fleet said "turn those bows around
We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down"
The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fast
The first shell hit the Bismarck, they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
"Sink the Bismarck" was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
We found that German battleship been makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
Yeah, we found the mighty Bismarck and prepared to cut her down
We found that German battleship been makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck 'cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a-runnin' and we spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down

My uncle passed away last week at 97. He was at sea 18 months in WW2. Was in the battle of Midway and a few others. He was blown off the ship during a Kamakazi attack but survived. He was so thankful to survive that he became a Pastor for the rest of his life and devoted himself to God. You would never know the warrior he was unless someone told you. He rarely spoke about it and I happened to be one of the lucky few who got what little information I got. He manned a flak gun and had survived a few Kamakazi attacks until he was blown off the ship. He said “ I’d rather beat a hornets nest with a stick than go back again”. Anyway…we lost a national treasure and a true piece of history last week. That saddens me but he lived 97 great years and his time was up. God bless him

May he rest in the peaceful tranquility he so wanted

God Bless your uncle...My Father came home with Malaria, but he tool care of his family!

Thanks for sharing your story! Alvy Moore (aka Hank Kimball) from Green Acres, was a heroic man as well, and a dedicated christian. Like your uncle, he would not talk of the things seen, and done in the war. Hope you have great memories of your uncle. I met Alvy in 1994, three years before he died. I'm sure that your uncle now is enjoying the fruit of his faithful labor as a pastor, for eternity!
