I think the British were a more than a little pissed off after the German Battleship Bismarck sunk the Britsh Battlecruiser Hood and then severely damage the Prince of Wales. The Royal Navy sent a force to find and destroy the Bismarck that would be quite a formidable force even during the early stages of the Cold War, probably still to this day as well.

The force that was sent out to hunt the Bismarck was composed of Six Battleships: HMS Rodeny, HMS Revenge, HMS Ramillies, HMS King George V, HMS Renown, and HMS Repulse, two Aircraft Carriers: HMS Ark Royal, and HMS Victorious which sent waves of Swordfish Torpedo Bombers, Thirteen Cruisers, Three Heavy Cruisers: HMS Suffolk, HMS Norfolk, and HMS Dorsetshire, and Seven Light Cruisers: HMS Galatea, HMS Aurora, HMS Neptune, HMS Hermione, HMS Arethusa, HMS Biringham and HMS Sheffield, plus twenty-one destroyers, and three submarines.

Yeah the British Navy wasn't too happy about loosing the Mighty Hood do you think?
