Sink the Bismarck! (History Channel)

On orders from her Nazi masters, the most powerful war machine ever to set sail on the high seas was loose in the Atlantic Ocean. The Royal Navy couldn't find her, but they knew she wielded the firepower that could singlehandedly wreak havoc on their war effort. Built in secrecy, she was a magnificent achievement of German technology, a weapon whose chief purpose was fear and mass destruction. She was the battleship Bismarck. Surprisingly, once put to sea, her life span was that of a butterfly - just over a week. But that was enough for the Bismarck to bring her awesome firepower to bear on HMS Hood, the pride of the British fleet, and send her to the ocean floor. In response, British high command determined that this terror of the sea had to be destroyed at any cost. This is the epic drama of the greatest sea chase the world has ever known, seen through the eyes of the men who lived it: a life and death pursuit across two million square miles of storm-tossed Atlantic Ocean. Bear witness as the Royal Navy marshals its forces with only one purpose in mind, to sink the Bismarck!
