Have you any idea which war and which nation the ship was from?

If it's the Yamato, Sinking the Supership may be the one.

Could be, do you know if it was also aired in German? And it should have been WWII.

Looked it up, doesn't seem like that, they start with the battle fairly early, though as far as I remember the first part was more the hours leading to the battle/sinking rather than the event itself

From the incidental detail about the ship's aircraft being unable to be launched, dashing the hopes of their crews that trhey'd get out alive, this can be identified as the German battleship Bismarck (sunk in 1941 several hundred miles west of France). Damage from attacks by Royal Navy aircraft had immobilsed the catapult launcher mechanisms, apparently. It may have been a human-interest point dramatised in the British postwar movie Sink the Bismarck!!

Well the only other candidate then XD thanks, though I know that it was a documentary, the one talking was one of the crew members, but thanks, at least I can now search a bit better (granted 99.9999% of all documentaries about warships I know are either about the Bismarck (occasionally the Tirpitz) or Yamato but still), at least that halves the possibilities. Guess I need to search in some Database from the channels most likely to have aired it.

EDIT: Problem here is, 99% of the documentaries about the Bismarck are just copy-paste ones where the biggest difference is the logo of the channel it runs on, and maybe the narrator.

I have no help to offer re the film, but FYI the English word you want is documentary, not documentation.
