From a 2011 interview.
A Swordfish biplane from the HMS Ark Royal, one of the ships pursuing the German battleship KMS Bismarck, is credited with launching the torpedo that jammed the Bismarck's rudder which spelled the ship's eventual doom. Jack Moffat is believed to be the last surviving member of the air attack that day against the Bismarck.
"Jock, we got a runner." After dropping the torpedo, "I got the hell out of there as fast as I could go."

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
