I read that of the ones that did hit them the majority just passed through the 'plane. But it could have been a boys war comic I read it in, it was a long time ago.
IIRC it was also a British navy attack on the Italian fleet/.harbour which inspired the attack on Pearl.

And of course we've all heard of HMS Argus.

I'm sure there was some fire, the Bismarck knew the danger it was in, but not with anti-aircraft guns.
