:54:01
before they realize they have lost us.
:54:10
This hit Victorious claims...
:54:11
it hasn't slowed Bismarck down at all.
:54:14
She's been zigzagging now...
:54:16
for more than two hours.
:54:18
That's odd.
:54:19
She must know we haven't...
:54:21
any submarines in the area.
:54:22
I wonder if Victorious
can get off another strike.
:54:25
I'm afraid not. It's too dark.
:54:27
Signal from Norfolk, sir.
:54:30
Yes? What is it?
:54:32
Sir, they've lost contact with Bismarck.
:54:43
This is London.
Over 24 hours have passed...
:54:45
since the battleship Bismarck
destroyed HMS Hood.
:54:49
Reportedly, the British
have attacked the Bismarck...
:54:52
with aircraft from a carrier...
:54:54
but Berlin says the attack
was beaten off successfully.
:54:57
Berlin adds that Bismarck
was able subsequently...
:54:59
to shake off the surface vessels
pursuing her.
:55:02
The German battleship has survived...
:55:04
the heaviest guns and ships
in the British navy...
:55:07
and the gloomy speculation now is...
:55:09
that the British navy
may have trouble finding her...
:55:12
let alone destroying her.
:55:13
Of one thing we can be sure...
:55:16
The lights will burn late
in the admiralty tonight.
:55:19
This is her last known position...
:55:19
This is her last known position...
:55:22
and this...
:55:25
her farthest on.
:55:27
That means she has to be
somewhere inside that circle.
:55:31
In this sector, search aircraft
from Victorious.
:55:34
To the south and west...
:55:36
cruisers Suffolk and Norfolk.
:55:39
That leaves two possibilities.
:55:41
Either she's broken back to Germany...
:55:43
or she's headed for
one of the French ports.
:55:48
Now, Miss Davis...
:55:50
if you were Bismarck, what would you do?
:55:53
Well, I suppose I'm not very brave.
:55:56
I'd head for home, sir.
:55:57
And a very sensible thing to do, too.
