Secrets of the Bismark

Allot of the Bismarck's mystique is as much about the situation as it was the ship.

For example the Tirpitz is the same class of ship but her name doesn't compare to the Bismarck in fame and legend.

The Idea that the Bismarck defeated the British navy's very symbol of power.
Then outnumbered and against her will she was forced to sail into the very forces pursuing her, Fighting to the last of her ability!

Its very much like a Wagnerian opera. And a great story because its one of the few cases where honor and glory can be claimed by both sides.
