Anyone who denies the element of luck in battle is simply arrogant thinking that man is in complete control of his fate. This story seems to give credence to the adage that "Man proposes, God disposes..." You can make of "God" whatever you please.

The Pride of the UK's Hood was a WW1 Battlecruiser while Bismark was a new Pocket Battleship with likely thicker armour. Great Gunnery and newer analogue computers on the German Battleship.

The jury is still out on this one. We don't know if it hit the main gun magazine or not. Conflicting stories and the wreckage is too damaged to tell. We don't know if her own torpedoes we're cooked off or her side and she'll magazine also exploded. We don't know if the fuel tanks ruptured and exploded as well.
