Bismarck. Perhaps the most feared vessel ever built. With a main armament of 8 15" SK C/34 main guns, laid out in a 4x2
configuration, she became infamous almost instantly. Best known for the sinking of the British battlecruiser HMS Hood, she was an
impressive vessel. She was fast, heavily armed, heavily armored, and a great metal beast. She has collected 4 things over the years: a Sabaton song (aptly named "Bismarck"), waifu status (thanks Azur Lane), fame, and is also an SCP (SCP-4127). She has gone down (no pun intended) in history as an icon of naval power. She has a lesser known sister ship, Tirpitz. Tirpitz was in Norway when she was attacked by aircraft and capsized. The
final battle of Bismarck occurred in 4 phases: the first, when British carrier Ark Royal caught up with her and attacked her with Swordfish torpedo bombers, which disabled her steering gear and jammed her rudders in a turning position, the second phase being the shadowing of British cruisers (causing no real damage), the third phase when she was cornered by British
battleships Rodney and King George V, as well as the cruisers Norfolk and Dorsetshire. She was sunk in this phase. The fourth phase was that of planes from the Luftwaffe
attacking the retreating British ships, resulting in the loss of a destroyer.
