Disclaimer before we start: this is not the POV of Bismarck for the previous one-shot, this is just the tale of her sinking - three days after Hood's. All images in this story are not mine!
Bismarck continued gliding along the water, approaching within 12 hours of the Luftwaffe's protective air cover. But she heard the whir of planes behind her, and turned to see several British Fairey Swordfish bomber planes. "Oh, no." Bismarck muttered, aiming her anti-aircraft guns at the planes. However, the bombers didn't attack her. Instead, they attacked Sheffield, a Royal Navy ship. Bismarck sighed in relief as she continued her journey, her eyes scanning the waters around her carefully. An attack. Another must be coming-
Just then, more planes arrived. The Royal Navy's buzzing biplanes had arrived. Bismarck realised her thoughts had been correct. She caught sight of Ark Royal not far behind as she tried her best to aim her guns. However, the biplanes flew too low for her to train her guns. The bomber's slow movements interfered with her anti-aircraft defenses as well.
If this is because I sank Hood... I will accept death gratefully.
The torpedoes hit her weakest point - her undefended rudders. "My rudders... Jammed..." Bismarck murmured, her eyes flickering from her rudders to her hull, which now had a huge gaping hole. Bismarck knew her steering mechanism was now spoilt and she had nothing left to do but circle around, waiting for her fate.
At daybreak, another three ships came - with fire. Fierce barrages ensued, and Bismarck knew she would leave the world soon. Rodney and King George V were there, their eyes full of hatred. "You sank Hood!" Rodney spat as she fired her guns with absolutely no mercy. "Bring it on... Don't delay my suffering..." Bismarck said as she closed her eyes.
King George V's gaze might have softened slightly, but still she fired, on and on. Bismarck closed her eyes as she descended down.
Tirpitz... I guess I'll never meet you...
Hood... I'm sorry...
U-556... Don't blame yourself... I brought this upon myself. You were an honourable U-boat... and a good companion... Goodbye...
A/N: Was it okay? I hope so! This is the account of Bismarck's sinking.
