During the final engagement with the German battleship Bismarck, HMS Rodney fired around 378 main 16-inch shells (approximately 40 broadsides) and 706 6-inch shells. The close-range barrage destroyed the Bismarck's bridge and crippled its heavy armament, though the ship was not sunk by gunfire alone. Rodney also fired torpedoes, marking the only instance of a battleship torpedoing another. - WarThunder #reel #viral #trend #facebook #instagood | Ships & Models by Erick Navas
