First off all the british actually built battleships worth roughly 39.000 tons and the Hood was at a tonnage of roughly 41.500 Tons also the Vanguard commissioned in 1946 was at over 50.000 tons, thus beating the Bismarck Also at the time of operation Rheinübung had the wast majority of the...

Actually the Hood was commissioned in 1920 so it wasn't really a WWI ship also it was a BC not a BB Actually Hood wasn't really obsolete compared to Bismarck and was in several ways better than Bismarck, namely in armor distribution and AA defense Hood was outdated compared to many "new"...

Nope not unless you think about the turret structure on the british warships, that coudn't effectively aim low enough to give Bismarck fatal underwater damage Again it depends on what you call critical, I'd personally prefer to have such things as wireless communication ;) Yes i think we can...

Well thaking that the royal navyb y the time tirpitz had finished her trials included: 4 Revenge class battleships 4 Queen Elizabeth battleships 2 King George V battleships 1 Renown Battlecruiser And that's the heavy units alone, so saying that 2 Bismarck battleships (plus or minus the...

I know W.I.N.T.E.R. I'm just making fun of it I know Bismarck was really about 50.000 metric tons, I'm just joking about that when Germany and Britain signed their naval treties (think it was in 1936), it was said it was 35.000 metric tons, and officially it staid that way and to the Royal Navy...

Well officially Bismarck was a 35.000 ton battleship ;) If we stay in the atlantic I'd say that Bismarck was a match for pretty much anything there, exept perhaps Rodney due to her very high firepower and good armor but Bismarck could easely outrun her so it's a difficult one About the fast...

Old??? I'm 17 :lol: I've enjoyed this discussion very much :) I very much hope this discussion won't turn hostile and I've not meant anything I've posted in that way I don't think nationality matters in this díscussion I'm half german myself About the PoW one thin is sertain if Lütjens had...

Naturally no shell pierced the deck the British ships where in a range where horisontal fiered shells where theonly possible solution Having 48 AA guns makes the ship seem very inadequade in AA defence no matter what and when you take into account that 16 of them is 20mm it seems horrible...

If you're referring to Robert Ballards exploration of the wreck of the Bismarck then it shows absolutely NO signs of having been scuttled, actually there's no way of saying anything ike that as all the underwater protection was destroyed by the impact BTW a british exploration of the wreck in...

I think it was captain Lindemann that first referred to it that way, and Hitler agreed whit him, that's mainly the reason that it's referred to in that way, usually there's a tradition to refer to warships as "her"

Just thought I'd add a bit Giving the Bismarck an increased defence rating propably woudn't be appropriate, for several reasons Bismarck totally lacked appropriate underwater defences (that ultimately proved her downfall) and most of his/her vital systems where placed above the protected belt...

It seems more like a corvette to me than a destroyer, but it's a nice ship

Bebro once made a roman unit, it has some resemblance to the Octavian Auxiliary http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42081
