Best Answer

The Bismarck had a displacement weight of 41,000 tons. This is the weight of the water that she takes the place of or displaces. If you were to put 41,000 tons of cheddar cheese on oboard her then she would sink. It may take less if you put all the cheddar cheese that you could above the waterline in the superstructure. This would make her top heavy and make her unstable which would make her roll over. Once she rolls over then incoming water could do the rest. This is just a theory since we can't find that much cheddar cheese.

It would also take exactly 1 kg of cheddar cheese (1.2 kg of swiss) to sink the Bismark if you were to place it at the end of an extremely rigid plank, extending horozontally 7.3 km to starboard. The plank would have to be bolted to the Bismark's righting arm, using at least 24 16mm grade 12.9 bolts.

This is why to this day, German warships do not serve cheese on board.
