Re: Hit that knocked out A&B turrets

Here's a scan from one of the books I have to illustrate where the general area of the hit should be. :wink:

Hit that knocked out A&B turrets

Might anyone have an image of the shell hit that supposedly hit between Anton and Bruno, putting them out of action and setting the for deck on fire? All the books and videos I own don't show any imaging of this area on the wreck, and all the artist renderings I've seen of the wreck show no shell hi...

Re: Main deck small boats

Awesome photos and info :clap: Here is whats confusing me about the cutters being on the main deck. In all these photos that I have of the beginning of OP R I can't see the cutters anywhere. And I don't recall seeing any of the davits or crane equipment on either side of the wreck site, Although tho...

Re: Main deck small boats

Ah ok. I had no idea they were replaced. :D Most drawings and models I've seen show the cutters on the port hanger. So the motor boats they were replaced with, were they the larger type that we see on the outside of each small hanger or like the smaller one we see closest to the funnel on the starbo...

Re: Main deck small boats

Very interesting... But if I recall Bismarck had 2 cutters above the port side hanger next to the funnel so it may be one of those.
Is there a place where I can access this photo your speaking of?

Re: Main deck small boats

yeah that's the problem I'm having as well. all the photos I've seen are either too blurry to make out weather or not they are there or too far off. :think: The reason I ask is because I'm working on a Revell 1/350 Bismarck (DS). I'm using the Lion Roar PE & the Mk1 wood deck which has holes cut...

Main deck small boats

Hello all I have a question that has been bugging me for quite some time. I have heard that all the small boats on Bismarcks main deck were removed at the start of Operation Rhein. Is this true? And if so were the cradles that held them and the small boat cranes forward of P2 & S2 removed as wel...

Re: How did you come to be interested in Bismarck?

I first read about bismarck in a issue of National Geographic magazine when I was a kid. Since then I have tried to learn as much information on it as I am able to find, but the info trail never seems to stop. :lol:

Re: Captains Bridge and Funnel Area

Heres what little I have seen of this area from Nazi Supership ans Expedition Bismarck. I'm really interested in what the area directly behind and aft of the coning tower looks like as well as how this area would have town off the ship. Are there still parts of that area still connected in places? O...
