Editing HMS Inglefield (section)

==Pursuing German battleships==
''Inglefield'' was deployed to the North Sea with the destroyer {{HMS|Zulu|F18|2}} to escort the [[battlecruiser]]s {{HMS|Renown|1916|2}} and {{HMS|Repulse|1916|2}} in an unsuccessful operation to seek and destroy the {{ship|German battleship|Scharnhorst||6}}.  It was believed that she was the [[heavy cruiser]] {{ship|German cruiser|Deutschland||2}}, and a massive naval effort by the Royal Navy failed to stop her from returning to a German port.

Perhaps her most famous role was in May 1941 when she served as part of the escort for the battleships {{HMS|King George V|41|2}} and {{HMS|Rodney|29|2}} in the [[Last battle of the battleship Bismarck|pursuit and destruction]] of the German battleship {{ship|German battleship|Bismarck||2}}.

In August, she was present at [[Scapa Flow]] for a visit by [[George VI of the United Kingdom|King George VI]], and even embarked the King for the review of the fleet and then for return passage to the mainland on 9 August.
