 FACT: In the film, Bismarck is attacked by British destroyers the  night before she is shelled into a wreck by King George V and  Rodney. Bismarck sinks one of the destroyers (the "Solent") after  suffering torpedo damage. In the real battle, no British destroyers  were sunk in this engagement and German sources indicate no  torpedoes hit Bismarck during the destroyer attack.
