A bit short on technical stuff, 26 Oct 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)

This review is from: Battle Of The Hood And Bismarck [DVD] (DVD)

I have been mad keen on Royal Navy things for years and looked forward to this sort of video ever since this sort of technology became available.

This explains the hunt for Bismark, the final moments leading up to the loss of Hood, then the hunt and final moments of Bismark.

However, for those interested in the technical details of each ship; displacement, engine power, speed, armament details and capability, complement etc it is very light. I think that these details are central to the story and their omission is a serious error and substantially reduces the value of the video.
