Bismarck — Germany Tech Tree Tier VIII Battleship.

The original plan was for the new ship to be armed with eight 330 mm guns; however, their caliber was increased to 380 mm when France and Italy started building battleships with such armament. In May 1941, battleship Bismarck and battlecruiser Prinz Eugen set off on a hunt for convoys in the Atlantic Ocean. On their way, they were intercepted by British ships Prince of Wales and Hood. After taking several hits, Hood exploded, and the German raiders headed for the Atlantic. The British fleet pursued their enemy. On May 26, rudder damage rendered Bismarck uncontrollable. In the battle that followed, the battleship was sunk.
