on this we disagree Tarjak
imho bismarks greatest strength was "spin"
measured against her contemporaries she was not
as capable a ship.
far and away the Best overall BB in WWII and history
is the USN Iowa Class.
bismarks rep far outwieghed her combat power.
she wasnt the most powerful battleship in the world
at the time she sailed. She was sold as that to the brits by
churchill who overemphasized her threat as a naval
unit to put priority on her destruction as a commerce
raider.
but in direct comparison she doesnt stand up.
