KGV+PoW+Hood+Repulse vs. 2 Bismarck Class + PE. ...but, would Tovey leave the Faeroes-Iceland passage open? Historically, Tovey had to disperse his forces into two battlegroups (Hood-POW and KGV-Repulse), because he just couldn't take the risk to send his four capital ships to the Denmark Strait im...

KGV (flag) + Hood + Rodney + PoW + 2-3 cruisers. I would take the slow Rodney out of the equation. She is just not an option for interception unless Bismarck/Tirpitz speed is reduced first. Had the Rodney been allocated to Holland battlegroup in May 1941 she would have never reached the Denmark Str...

After the two hits by POW, Bismarck was 3º down by the bow and had a 9º list to port. Because of this, the blades tips of the starboard propeller were out of the water at times! Therefore, to level the battleship and reduce the bow trim and list, the starboard void tanks in sections II and III were ...

Surely not the greatest Admiral, but we Spaniards commemorate Don Álvaro de Bazán, the marquis of Santa Cruz. Álvaro de Bazán was one of the Spanish commanders at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. In 1582 he defeated a French fleet at the Battle of Terceira securing the Azores Islands for Spain and com...

About the ammunition, that´s a good point. But I don´t believe it was that critical because Mullenhein-Rechberg would have written or talk about about it. Actually Bismarck still had a considerable amount of AP shells after sinking the Hood and dealing with Prince of Wales. She had just fired 93 x ...

If this is of interest to you, the corpse of Heinrich Neuschwander was picked up by the Spanish heavy cruiser Canarias on 30 May, given a naval burial service at 1000 hours on the next day, and committed to t...
