    Here is the battle that lead to Bismarks sinking, (yes it is at the end of the video)
    when you start downloading this video (it is 100Mb) change to full screen as
    I did not have to degrade the video too much, only a little with some creative
    editing to get it to fit. The camera was a Go-Pro-Hero Wide (170 degree)
    camera normally sold to the RC car racing guys, it is Water and BB proof
    to 200 feet. It sat for almost a week at the bottom of the pond and all that
    happend was the battaries ran out as it kept filming in the dark. The pond is 14 feet
    deep where Bismark sank, the sounds it captured also help make a neat story.
    Worth a look if you like a little combat footage, Only 5 boats on water, one of those
    a liberty type ship but fun none the less. Thanks to the OAF-SAR team for recovering
    Bismark, now if only I could get rid of that smell in her.......o_O

    Cheers!

    Great video, I love the perspective. Try bleach water for the smell. Make sure you empty the boat's guts out first.

    Wiping and rinsing everything in rubbing alchohol worked really well, so now to work on her systems and a better pump mount.
