		I was particularly interested in HMS Sheffield's role in the shadowing of the Bismark when she attempted to reach the open seas of the Atlantic in the early stages of the Second World War.and incidently a race she only just lost.
		Suffolk was taking advantage of this, keeping close to cover, if the Bismark was sighted at close range.At 19:22 pm a lookout from the Suffolk sighted the Bismark closely followed by the Prinz Eugen seven miles on the same course as herself.
		The heavy cruiser HMS Dorsetshire was credited with firing the salvo of torpedoes that sank the Bismark.It is believed that towards the end, Bismark's crew set off explosive charges in her engine room to assist her sinking.

		HMS Norfolk en HMS Suffolk (zware kruisers) gingen patrouilleren in de Denemarken Straat (vaarwater tussen IJsland en Groenland).
		Het onbekende schip werd geïdentificeerd als een kruiser (het bleek uiteindelijk de Britse zware kruiser HMS Suffolk te zijn) en kon maar zo kort worden waargenomen dat er niet eens tijd was om de geschutskoepels in de goede richting te draaien.
		De HMS Prince of Wales had diverse treffers gehad, maar was nog steeds in staat om aan een gevecht deel te nemen en zou misschien nog later in de campagne van pas kunnen komen.

	The Ships of Jack Aubrey - Three A
		Ordinarily, of course, as an admiral Aubrey would not directly command his own flagship, but in the present case he was sailing without a flag captain and also with a badly under-strength crew, although he had somewhat alleviated this situation by transferring men from his beloved Surprise.
		The Suffolk was launched in 1765 and served the Royal Navy until she was broken up in 1803.
		The size of the Ringle as envisioned by Patrick O'Brian is not certain, although she was large enough for transoceanic voyages not to be considered either extraordinary or unduly dangerous.

	Loss of HMS Hood
		In an instant on the morning of the 24th of May, 1941, the Royal Navy lost the symbolic flagship of its fleet and the battleship Bismarck, which would have otherwise had an interesting but unremarkable history, was transformed into one of the most well-known ships of the war.
		At 2002, a message from cruiser HMS Suffolk reported the enemy as one battleship and one cruiser, course 240 degrees, in a position that translated to some 560 kilometers distant and almost directly north of the battlecruiser force.
		Fourteen hundred fifteen officers and men of H.M.S. Hood were killed in the explosion, or died in the water shortly thereafter.

		The mean of these placed the enemy some 280º, 14 miles from Suffolk's plot position, and sights obtained shortly afterwards confirmed this.
		Enemy appeared to be approaching, and in case he had reversed course at 0538 (being "turned" by the Battle Cruiser Squadron), Suffolk circled to keep northward of enemy.
		It was soon realised, however, that the enemy was not approaching, the appearance being due to mirage, which also explains the similar (false) appearances at 0325.

	HMS Ganges Association - HMS Ganges at Falmouth - Royal Navy
		H.M.S. "Ganges" was one of the five ships chosen to be converted into a training ship, but not without some objections because of her layout, these however were ignored and once again she sailed, this time for Devonport to be converted.
		This is all that is known of life aboard H.M.S. "Ganges" apart from what is shown in the ship's books, but by reading the newspapers of that time, both the boys and the ship's company engaged in many of the community activities ashore.
		The number of boys joining the ship had been declining for some time and recruiters were having to go further afield, so the decision was made to move the ship closer to the more populated areas and to provide a base for a more permanent establishment.
