[edit] Contradictory Statement

In this article, when it mentions the collision with the HMS Punjabi, it says that the battleship (King George V) sustained minimal damage. But in the HMS Punjabi article, it is stated that King George V sustained serious damage, and had to put in for repairs. This is pretty contradictory! Which version is correct?

KGV's bows were badly damaged in the collision, and a large gash was torn in them. She was still able to sail back to Liverpool for repairs though... its an interesting one. From the point of view of how she appeared, she was badly damaged. From a functional point of view, she was only lightly damaged, effecting handling and speed and little else.

[edit] Hoods victor?

Good work on the extra operational history and rewrite of the Bismarck battle section. However i am not sure Bismark can be called Hoods victor as I thought it was in dispute if it was Bismark or the Prinz who fired the shell/shells which started the events which caused Hood to explode?
