There have been more recent Bismarks as well.

I visited Willemshaven Naval Base in the 1970's* and the floating bridges which connect to the floating piers where the warship's moor, had names like Tirpitz, Bismark etc.

I'm not sure what the thinking behind this idea was, maybe someone else can enlighted us.

* We almost sank a German naval vessel, but we didn't mean to do it.
