Re: Portholes bow and stern
guys, I'd just like to point out my very first post: Bismarck had a few portholes each side at the bow and stern, outwith the armour belt. I was never suggesting Bismarck had portholes along the citadel section. No probs though. EDIT: sorry, wrong end of the stick this post. Feel free to continue.

Re: Portholes bow and stern
Incidentally, that photo earlier of the stern portholes also quite neatly shows the 'propeller guards', as kindly pointed out to me by Terje Langoy in the post titled 'Bismarck turret installation photos'

Portholes bow and stern
Bismarck had a few portholes each side at the bow and stern, outwith the armour belt. What was behind these ? Was it crew cabins ? For who ? Map rooms ? I'm just trying to think who, what or which functions would benefit from natural light.
Thanks for any replies

Re: Fuel oil on board Bismarck 27 May 1941
IFAIK, 40% of the hull plating on port and starboard sides of the wreck is reported missing, behind which i think were fuel oil tanks. This was probably caused by the impact with the seabed, the sections already being weakened by torpedo holes each end of them. The wreck is not near land or any cons...

Re: Bismarck Turret Installation Photos
Terje, i like the style of your posts. Thanks.
I think you've got it. I always wondered what those 'poles' were.

Re: Bismarck Turret Installation Photos
I'm probably missing something here, but i can't see how a 'pole', swung out from the hull and suspended by wires, can 'guard the propellers'

Re: Bismarck off Norwegian coast 21 May 1941
correct, AFAIKBut where on earth have they hidden the Kriegsmarine ensignia? It is not to be seen in her main mast, and shouldn't be there either since she's not in battle right now
