The Battleship Bismarck was the sixth German ship to be named after Otto von Bismarck, the father of the German empire.
She was the first of two ships of the Bismarck class along with her sister ship Tirpitz
Her keel plates were laid down on 1st July 1936 at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in hamburg and she received her commission on 24th August 1940.
She is most famous for Operation Rheinübung, a patrol to hunt allied convoys in the Atlantic, which saw her set out from Gotenhafen on Sunday 18th May 1941.
This operation led to the Battle of Denmark Strait which resulted in the sinking of the Battlecruiser HMS Hood, jewel in the crown of the Royal Navy, in the early moments of the engagement.
The sinking was a huge blow to British morale and led to the mobilisation of most elements of the Royal Navy in the area in a chase to catch and sink the Bismarck.
Bismarck eventually had her steering gear disabled by a swordfish torpedo plane launched from the HMS Ark Royal on 26th May 1941 and her rudder was jammed at 12 degrees port.
The final blows were dealt by HMS Rodney, HMS King George V, HMS Norfolk and HMS Dorsetshire the following day before the order was given to scuttle the Bismarck at 1000hrs on 27th May 1941.
Only 115 of the 2200 officers and crew aboard were rescued.
