The Repulse was a Renown class battle cruiser. She was sunk by the Japanese off Malaya. She was involved in the search for the Bismark. Bismark was initially engaged by Hood and Price of Wales. The Hood was also a battle cruiser, but larger and more powerful than the Repulse, and she was blown right out of the water. The Repulse would have stood no chance. The final shoot-out was done by the Nelson and King George V. Most of the damage done to the Bismark by gunfire was from the Nelson's 16" guns firing at point blank range. Sorry, drifted off message there.
