The British re-located "Bismarck" at 10:30 on 26 May, when a Catalina flying boat of RAF Coastal Command sighted her, heading for the French port of Brest. "Rodney" and "King George V" were still about away. The aircraft carrier was ordered to launch an air attack, and at 22:25 her torpedo bombers, a flight of Fairey Swordfishes damaged "Bismarck", slowing her down and jamming her rudder, forcing her to turn back out into the Atlantic, away from the safety of port. At 15:00 "Rodney" joined "King George V" and they maintained 22 knots – which was nearly maximum speed for "Rodney". "King George V" had only 32 percent of her fuel left while "Rodney" had only enough fuel to continue the chase at high speed until 8:00 the following day.
