Search for the Battleship Bismarck

On May 27, 1941, the German Navy's most powerful vessel, Bismarck, was sunk in waters nearly three miles deep, taking with it more than 2,000 lives. Explorer and scientist Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the Titanic, located the sunken Bismarck 600 miles off the coast of France almost half a century later. National Geographic looks back at the first – and last – mission of this infamous vessel, talks with survivors of the notorious World War II battle, and reveals exclusive footage of this remarkable underwater discovery in the SEARCH FOR THE BATTLESHIP BISMARCK.
