Well then count me a fool......
Lets see, 1 voyage... battered to hell then scuttled (which is still a British victory). Then all the notoriety you speak of is focused either on it being sunk first time out, or the irrelevant controversy of how it was sunk. The one true "claim-to-fame" was some decidedly good gunnery while engaging HMS Hood (although magazine penetration takes luck, even if you are trying for it.) One of the most famous, certainly.. the greatest... um... no.
