by José M. Rico » Mon Jun 06, 2005 4:25 pm. No yellow at the beginning of Rheinübung. Yellow was only applied (if ever) in the morning of 26 May 1941 with the Bismarck in the Atlantic heading for France. The top of the turrets (flat and sloped plates) was painted dark grey in Hamburg during the winter of 1940-41 and remained like that until ...
Newbie need Info on bismarck's rigging. by clarence1 » Tue Sep 27, 2005 6:22 pm. After multiple research regarding the rigging of the bismarck on different forum, I still can't find the information I'm looking for. I'm currently building the Tamiya 1/350 scale Bismarck, and there is no information in the instruction sheet about the rigging (or ...
Re: Bismarck's Baltic Camoflage. by RF » Wed Sep 24, 2008 8:00 am. My understanding was that the camouflage was used in all home waters not just the Baltic, the purpose as on all warships being security and in wartime make enemy identification of ships more difficult. I had presumed the Arado's would be grey rather than green.

Bismarck intercepts @ 27 knots. Lee accepted the challenge. There is a problem, though, daylight is good for Bismarck and when night cames the electrical system of South Dak fails as historically happens. 2. At dusk Bismarck with PE, Atago, Sendai and Takao clash with South Dak and Washington plus the destroyers. Lee accepted battle.
by Ulrich Rudofsky » Tue Oct 19, 2004 11:14 pm. “Selbstversenkung” [self-inflicted sinking or scuttling of one’s own ship] is a frightening and recurrent theme in German naval history. This last ditch heroic effort of defiance and of depriving the opponent of the ship was very explicit in the mortal battle of the Bismarck.
Ciao Luca and all, what a pleasure to be able to help you on this my friend . YES, on April 7th, 1941 Tirpitz and Bismarck were togheter on training on the Baltic sea. Bismarck camo should be well known. Full Baltic stripes camo with dark grey top turrets, including the sloped plates. Tirpitz was still incomplete.
Hi Paul, re. the Bismarck hit (n.5 in the PoW damage report) it's extremely difficult that a shell travelling underwater for a long way like the one you mention can explode anyway. A "good" shell should be activated by the water impact first and should explode before reaching the ship, in this case. I imagine that the shell was a "dud" anyway.
Most ships have two continuous loops of chain passing down from either side of the bow through a ring at the forefoot of the bow. The loop is continous and can move through rings at top and bottom. The tow wire from the paravane is brought forward along the foredeck and shackled to a link on the loop. A tow wire to the paravane is shackled to a ...
Bismarck's hull IZ was essentially from point blank range to 30km vs most battleship caliber guns. Vanguard's IZ was essentially 21km to 30km vs the same guns. It can now be shown that the Bismarck's two deck system provided at least the sum total of its two armoured decks which would be 130mm over the machinery and 150mm (TP) over the magazines.
