Uploaded a new technical article in German to the website, where retired Kapitän zur See Alfred Schulze-Hinrichs, an expert in the field of seamanship wonders whether the battleship Bismarck could have reached St. Nazaire by contrarotating her three propellers.

Re: Schlachtschiff Bismarck und Seemannschaft
fine
Meine Herren, es kann ein siebenjähriger, es kann ein dreißigjähriger Krieg werden – und wehe dem, der zuerst die Lunte in das Pulverfaß schleudert!
Re: Schlachtschiff Bismarck und Seemannschaft
yes, good article.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood and Earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned these defended;
And saved the sum of things for pay.

I'd like to see this article in English before I can comment directly on it.
Leaving aside the technical matters and sea conditions, and that Bismarck had a fleet staff including fleet engineer on board - by 26 May were the senior officers in a capable condition for attempting to devise these sort of countermeasures to the jammed rudder problem?
