Notes
- She received zwei remodel in the April 23rd, 2014 update along with Tone and Chikuma's Kai Ni remodel as the first few kanmusus to require a blueprint for their remodel.
- She received drei remodel in the September 26th, 2014 update.
- Excluding the Chitose sisters, she is the only ship in the game to ever receive a third remodel.
- She is the second battleship capable of launching torpedoes (the first being the Re-class battleship), and the first battleship on the player side to do so in-game.
- Her kai art is based on her Baltic camouflage applied at Kiel Bay. Her zwei art represents her repainting before departing Norway to the Atlantic Ocean during Operation Rheinübung.
- '改' means 'remodelled' (for the first time), '改二' means 'remodelled a second time', etcetera. However, German ships use zwei (two) & drei (three) for '改二' & '改三', respectively, omitting the '改'.
Trivia
- Bismarck is named after the German chancellor, Otto von Bismarck.
- Unlike most ships, the Bismarck (name ship only) was always referred to as a 'he' in German documents, at the insistence of her captain, Ernst Lindemann.
- The Bismarck class was the largest built by the European powers.
- 'Super Dreadnought' described battleships designed during the interbellum that surpassed the specifications of earlier 'Dreadnought'-type warships. The term fell out of favor as increasingly larger vessels were commissioned.
- Historically, Bismarck was not equipped with torpedo tubes. Her sister ship, Tirpitz, had them installed after Bismarck sank.
- She sank the world's largest battlecruiser, the HMS Hood (51).
- She was sunk on her first operation, Operation Rheinübung, on May 27, 1941 in the North Atlantic Ocean (48°10'N 16°12'W).
- Fairey Swordfishes eventually scored a torpedo hit on the rudder, jamming it to starboard & ending Bismarck's retreat to Brest, France.
- Her wreck was discovered in 1989 by Dr. Robert Ballard.
- Subsequent expeditions have shown a crew-initiated scuttling ensured that it was sooner rather than later.
