Did ships arriving the next morning see evidence that Tribal-class destroyers had hit Bismarck with torpedoes?
Short answerNo clear indication was visible; the ships were not close enough to inspect reliably amid shellfire and their own torpedo attacks.
NotesLater ships could not inspect Bismarck closely enough to determine whether Tribal-class destroyers had hit her with torpedoes. The observers were firing large numbers of shells and launching their own torpedoes rather than conducting a calm inspection. The claimed Tribal hits therefore remain unconfirmed.
