After re-reading your post for 5 times, I finally understand your point.

By living in Japan, you will see japaneses actually weight foreign word more than their own. By using word 'kai' (改), it implies that Bismark and Bismark Kai is the same 'Bismark'. And by using Zwei or Drei, it means that here is your whole new 'Bismark 2'. And so on. I think japanese mindset might refer kai as version 1.5 and kai ni as 2. If Bismark Drei didn't got torpedo from tripitz then her Drei might be just Zwei kai(2.5).

I have no knowledge about Bismark history nor thinking it's the right way of using 'zwei' and 'drei'. But I feel dev are trying to convey something like Bismark -- Upgraded Bismark -- Bismark 2 -- Bismark 3, implying Bismark and Bismark Kai is the same ship but Bismark Zwei and Bismark Drei are not.

I also hope I'm typing some sense.

By the way, most japaneses can count in german only eins,zwei,drei...
