Re: Gun length in calibers
For example, Bismarck's 15 inch gun had an overall length of 52 calibers. It's correctly refered to as a 38cm/L52 gun. The distance from muzzle to breach is 48.5 calibers. That's right. http://www.kbismarck.org/photos/38cm-SKC34-DE-Rohr.jpg http://www.kbismarck.org/photos/38cm-SKC34-DE-Munition.jpg...

I had the translated volumes of the series of Tirpitz and Scharnhorst published by Conway. A kind of poor-man AOTS. What is most striking is the little scale of the decks plans, you can´t see the details without a magnifier glass. And these plans are in German. The plans in those volumes have been ...

But Adm Lutjens was neither Nelson nor Rommel, just himself, and did what it thought was ...

I've just found it on Amazon.de:
http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3 ... ismarck-21
260 pages just about the hull of the Bismarck Class? I think it may be interesting. Has anybody ever heard of the author before?
