Conte di Cavour class ( Cavour and Cesare ) and Duilio class ( Duilio and Doria ) battleships had the machinery replaced just like the USS Texas, from coal to oil.

Ciao all, the intent of this post is to start some discussion about other KM ships as some readers have asked it too. Since I am interested not only on Bismarck but on all the main KM warships since 33 years, I have asked Jose' to provide me some space to post my reference tables and than be able to...

Ciao Matthias and all, well as it is evident a 'personality' was involved into an ' incident' on May 5th, 1941 on Bismarck, ... but the ship was not 'directly' involved .... You know the sailors do have particular skill to move on a ship, .. and that ' personality' was well known to be a guy that wa...

Ciao Jose' and all, WHOW !! another unknown photo, .. very good :shock: @ Jose', your answers are correct, .. 2 incidents, one with Vaterland on Hamburg at Blohm & Voss going backwards, .. and another with the Atlantic tug on the Elbe river,... ...than the one on May 5th I see still remain a mis...

Ciao all, Otto von Bismarck important dates .... Born : April 1st, 1815 ..

Ciao all, just my little help .... The swastika's were painted earlier than April, .. together with the Baltic camouflage, ..... so after middle/end of January I think we should assume they were there ..... The key is the presence of the band behind Lindemann and the sailors alignement on the stern,...

Ciao all, YES, the lost of Commodore Bonte was a huge price for Kriegsmarine destroyers. He was on board Z-21 Wilhelm Heidkamp mortally wounded by a torpedo fired by HMS Hardy on Narvik harbour during the first battle on April 10th, 1940. But Capt. Warburton-Lee was not going to have different desti...

Ciao Marcelo and all, YES of course, I have detail photos of it :D The area is called '' Tirpitz Parken '' and you can see there is the usual accomodation for barbecue and pic-nic on the park for tourist. The top plate is written on 3 languages ( Norwegian, German and English ) and it says : 12. nov...
