A battleship sunk by surface combatant??? Maybe.JABQ04 said:
Also USS Texas v Bismarck would not have ended well for Texas. Wonder though, if that would have brought the US into the war 6 1/2 months before Pearl Harbor.

About 4 1/2 years ago we flew into NH on our return from Afghanistan. There was the typical reception of older vets, well wishers, greeters etc... as I grabbed a slice of pizza and a coke I saw an old man with a cap that said USCG Modoc. I remember reading and hearing about that ship but it took a bit for it to kick in. I found him later and asked him if he was on board when they crossed paths with Bismarck. He said he was, but was below decks and really didn't know anything about it until the situation had passed.
