Bismarck was a German battleship laid down in 1936 and launched in February 1939. The battleship entered service with the German Navy (German Kriegsmarine) in August 1940. The ship was 251 meters long, 36 meters wide, and had a total displacement of 53,000 tons. Bismarck's top speed was around 29-30 knots. The main armament was 8 380 mm guns in four twin turrets, and the secondary armament: 12 150 mm or 16 105 mm guns.
Bismarck was the first ship with a similar name - Bismarck. It was ordered to replace the old battleship Hanover, which had become completely obsolete by the 1930s. At the time of launch, the Bismarck was the largest German ship and the largest European battleship. She had good armour, and her main or secondary armament was inferior to that of her counterparts on British ships. He made his first trip in September 1940, when he took a ferry to Gdynia, which would have been his home port. Bismarck's combat record during World War II was very short. Bismarck embarked on her first combat voyage on May 19, 1941 - she was supposed to conduct cruising operations in the Atlantic, primarily attacking Allied convoys. During the implementation of this plan, Bismarck and the accompanying heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen already crossed the Danish Straits a few days later. On May 24, a battle took place in this strait between the German team and the British ships, as a result of which the battlecruiser HMS Hood sank, and the Bismarck itself was seriously damaged. After the battle, a significant force of the Royal Navy, including the Polish destroyer ORP Piorun, was directed against the Bismarck, which was tracked down by the German ship and sunk on 27 May 1941. It is worth noting that there is a plausible hypothesis that suggests that the battleship Bismarck was sunk by the crew themselves due to the damage sustained during the battle on May 27, which made it impossible to return to the base on their own.
