this really is a good joke

**Boris Godunov** · July 18, 2003, 19:27

Bismarck may have been the most famous battleship every built, sure...but the greatest? They've been built bigger and badder.

**Pekka** · July 18, 2003, 19:29

The correct answer to most feared battleship is Anna Nicole Smiths butt. It's horrible.

Like what? The Missouri? When was that tested in a real ship to ship battle? The Yamato? A sluggish behemoth.

How many capital ship classes were launched after WWII anyway. The Vanguard?

German heavy ships proved their superior construction at Jutland in 1916 and the Bismarck managed to take a massive pounding from two British Battleships while immobilized and still had to be scuttled by her own crew. If the British Navy had been confronted with a German force of similar size it would have been no contest.

And German naval gunnery was superior in both wars. The US doesn't really come into it. I'd bet the Bismarck would have reduced any US heavy ship of its era to twisted metal in no time.

**Boris Godunov** · July 18, 2003, 19:35

The Bismarck and Tirpitz were hardly "junk"--they were magnificent and powerful war vessels. They were, however, geared more towards WWI naval tactics than WWII. In particular, Bismarck was probably unmatchable at closer range ship-to-ship combat. However, she was weak against was to prove her undoing--aircraft.

In terms of ships outclassing the Bismarck, the Iowa-class ships beat it in almost all respects. Better armor, faster, more maneuverable, and better sensors. The Bismarck was just a little too old-fasioned.

It was certainly not, however, "junk."

Not only are you an idiot panag, but completely ignorant on this issue to boot.

The Germans sank the Bismarck themselves because the Royal Navy couldn't sink her. This was proved by recent dives on the wreck. The only reason they got to her in the first place was a million to one lucky hit on the steering gear which effectively hobbled her.

The Tirpitz was sunk at anchor by, if I remember correctly, 617 Squadron "The Dam Busters" using very heavy bombs. I don't think any ship could have survived such an attack.

FYI concrete was for a long time (and perhaps still is) used to repair naval ships. A friend of mine used to do that.

Probably my last foray into the I'm with stupid game as it continues to become a banana fest with many questions being answered zylka.
