Dark Seas | The Giant Revenge Battleship with a Unique Mind-Blowing Mission @DarkDocsSeas | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
HMS King George V, the lead ship of the most modern British battleships commissioned during World War 2, was the pride of the Royal Navy. Displacing over 42,000 tons, with a length of 745 feet, and armed with a main battery of ten 14-inch guns, she was a force to be reckoned with.
As the jewel of the crown, HMS King George V was dormant when the Kriegsmarine unleashed its lethal commerce raiding campaign across the North Sea and the Atlantic. The Royal Navy did not want the battleship to be sunk by enemy submarines. However, the sinking of HMS Hood by the fearsome battleship Bismarck was more than enough to awaken King George V from her sleep with one specific mission: vengeance.
Despite being smaller and brandishing a battery of 14-inch guns against Bismarck’s 15-inch guns, HMS King George V was still more than capable of barraging the Germans with lethal firepower, and in May 1941, the British battleship left safe harbor, determined to put an end to Bismarck's year-and-a-half-long reign of dominance once and for all.
Little did her crew know, Prime Minister Winston Churchill had just issued a radical decree to the British Navy: Bismarck must be sunk, even if it meant sacrificing King George V…
