not sure if it is still April fools or not from the comments above, but yes, you do need to place either Z1 or Z3 as the flagship of the first fleet (ie. secretary) in order to craft Bismarck in LSC.

To sum it up:

Using Z1 as secretary gives you the chance to craft:

Z3 in normal construction, Bismarck in LSC.

Using Z3 as secretary gives you the chance to craft:

Z1 in normal construction, Bismarck in LSC.

Using Bismarck as secretary gives you the chance to craft:

Z1 and Z3 in normal construction.

If the admiral somehow lost Z1 and havent crafted Z3 there is currently no way of getting Bismarck

All results from wikiwiki jp points to this. Obviously others are welcome to try to be the cool guy and prove the world wrong though :)
