Unable to repair its rudder, "Bismarck" steams in circles. During the night the German battleship is attacked by two British destroyers. They fire torpedoes, and one torpedo hits, but "Bismarck" returns fire, sinking the destroyer HMS "Solent". The main force of British ships (including battleships and ) find "Bismarck" the next day and rain shells upon her. Lütjens in his final moments insists to Lindemann that German forces will arrive to save them, but dies when a shell destroys "Bismarck"s bridge. Shortly afterwards the remaining bridge officers are killed. After that, the remaining officers abandon their sinking ship. On board "King George V," Admiral Tovey orders the newly joined cruiser to finish off "Bismarck". The cruiser fires a salvo of six torpedoes at the severely damaged German battleship. Four torpedoes strike home, causing the vessel to sink faster than the crew can escape. The captain in "King George V" lowers his head as "Bismarck" rolls over and disappears beneath the waves. The admiral orders "Dorsetshire" to pick up any remaining survivors, finally saying tersely: "Well, gentlemen, let's go home."
