British biplanes are what disabled the Bismarck, the prize battleship of the Germans.
Yes, but he said biplanes sinking battleships, not disabling them.
HMS Dorsetshire fired the killing blow although by that time the Bismarck was a burning wreck, courtesy of the Rodney and King George V.

As big a ship as the Bismarck was it was basically a WWI design. The British got incredibly lucky with the torpedo shot to the rudders of the ship. I also think the Bismarck's AA guns couldn't depress low enough to hit the incoming planes as well
