But the only reason why you know it is because it sunk the Hood.
And that makes teaboos seethe to this day, and this is why we don’t talk about the gigantic wastes of metal that the Graf Zeppelin or Prinz Eugen were, but have weekly memes about a shitty battleship by a 2nd-grade naval power that didn’t even have a coherent naval doctrine.
Because the Bismarck sank the Hood.

Little known fact, but “Piorun” in Polish translates to “LEEEROY JENKINS!” in English.

The difference between the Bismark and Yamato is that the Bismark only got a heavy metal song while the Yamato got a Space Opera

Piorun was the real MVP, I mean, how much sleep are you going to get when you have a destroyer full of VERY angry Polish sailors throwing garbage, playing songs, and shooting at you all night.

The Bismarck could have been made to fit within the naval treaty.
30 knots, 8 15 inch guns at 35.000 tons standard displacement is definitely possible. For example a South Dakota, but with 15 inch guns and two knots more speed.
Turtleback armour really did it in for Bismarck.

There’s a constant pendulum swing on a bunch of World War II topics where neither extreme is accurate:
America won the war single handedly vs. the Soviets won the war single handedly
The Maginot Line was wholly responsible for the Fall of France vs. the Maginot Line was actually a great success
The Nazis almost won vs. they never even had a chance
The Sherman/T-34/Tiger II was the greatest tank ever built vs. they were complete trash
etc. etc. etc.

Pay no attention to the NEUTRAL US assets behind the curtain. They are certainly NOT reporting the Bismarck’s location to the British.

The amazing thing isn’t that the ship had flaws. The amazing thing is the ship ignored all naval treaties and still had flaws.
