Did really 159 of the Cossack men died?? It is a whole lot, especielly as it is about as many crew as destroyers had onboard. (+ sometimes a ship-cat). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.233.60.137 ( talk) 18:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Under the section for the HMS Ark Royal, it says that it was this ship in question "which ironically had been instrumental in the destruction of [the] Bismarck"
I'm curious how one English ship was involved in the destruction of another in this current time era. Any clarification is appreciated. Shint ( talk) 18:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Bismark1040.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

On the "German Battleship Bismarck" talk page, I posted a note that this is an urban myth (albeit a great one, I have to say!) bigpad ( talk) 11:01, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Also, the Purr-n-Fur site linked at the bottom of the page gives a number of solid reasons why the story of Unsinkable Sam is likely false. http://www.purr-n-fur.org.uk/featuring/war02.html#oscar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.218.69 ( talk) 09:46, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
This article says there were 115 survivors from the sinking of the Bismarck. The article on the Bismark says that 1995 of 2200 died (leaving 205 survivors). Anybody know which is correct?
What are the chanced that there is a picture of this cat? That would really increase teh coolness factor of this page. MilkStraw532 ( talk) 22:56, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Do we know when this story was first written, published in a newspapaer or in a book? Was it created during the war or after it ended? -- Andreas ( talk) 10:04, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
