The Bismark was hit by 2 torpedoes from Faery Swordfish torpedo bombers (not Gloucester Gladiators).

While the Swordfish looked rather outdated, they were very successful as torpedo bombers.

Yes! The Swordfish - completely right. Not sure why I remembered otherwise.

Was the Swordfish successful? I think it was used at Narvik but it was slow and not very manoeuvrable.
