The German battleship BISMARCK was sunk in the North Atlantic Ocean. HMAS NESTOR, (destroyer), was one of the ships involved in the hunt. Other RAN personnel, then serving in British warships, were also involved in the action, including LCDR G. G. O. Gatacre, RAN, who was serving in HMS RODNEY, (battleship). Gatacre was later awarded the DSC for his conspicuous gallantry in this action.
