 | | This mixture of swashbuckling adventure and British naval tradition is leavened with well-placed humour and a cast of colourful characters, but at the heart of the tales is Gruffudd's quick-thinking, courageous Hornblower, a starry-eyed officer with the luck of the gods and the steely determination of an old-fashioned hero. |
 | | Louis Mazzini, a young man, the son of a duke's daughter and a penniless Italian singer who died at his birth, vows to eliminate the ten people who stand between him and the dukedom, a desire for vengeance that becomes intensified when his mother, on her own death, is refused admission to the family vault. |
 | | After escaping the British naval blockade, the German ship engages the Royal Navy ships shadowing her; HMS Hood, Prince of Wales and Suffolk, in the ensuing battle the Hood is sunk and the Bismarck continues independently with only minor damage. |
