man why is every time the german battleships is mentioned why does it have to be the bismark she was sunk in 41 off the west coast of france. a better candidate would be the Tirpitz Battleship even though she was a bismark class BB, she lasted right to almost the end of the war. there were many attempts to sink her 13 operations by the allies.

most famous

Operation source: British X craft midget Submarine raid

Operation Paravane: when 617 Squadron "the Dambusters" used the Lancaster B 1 Specials along with the tallboy bomb sank the mighty ship in her Norweigen Fyord capsizedand sank.

now that should be added along with the bomb and the lancaster type :rock :pray :pray :aok

i dont think they ever do. plus people who ask for the hood are pretty wrong aswell. its not a battleship. its a battlecruiser. basicaly a cruiser with i think 14 inch guns. plus it was sunk by the bismark anyways. if anything if a british battleship should be added it should be the "prince of whales", but they need to make the ships bigger first. before adding new ships.

Trouble is, none of the British battleships were a match for any of their contemporaries.  The RN never got around to building a ship that was free of the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty, at least not until Vanguard was launched towards the end of the war.

Hood had 15 inch guns, equivalent to Bismarck but without the armor.

King George V class ships (including Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Anson and Howe) had 10 14 inch guns, giving them less weight of shell than contemporaries like the South Dakota class. In addition, the quad turrets caused a bunch of headaches.
