...escort was the powerful heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, but they had no destroyer screen and could expect no help from the rest of the German fleet. Their task was to hit Allied shipping and run. In foul weather, the Bismarck and her cruiser escort slipped out of Grimstad Fiord before British bombers could be put to work on them. Admiral Sir John Tovey, commander of the Home Fleet, ordered every available ship deployed to bring them to battle.
