What was Germanys battleship called?

Answer 1

It was the BISMARCK battleship, which sank Britain's HOOD in 1941 and was sunk itself a few days later in the Atlantic Ocean close to Brest, France.

NO it wasn't. It was the Tirpitz which hid in a Norwegian fjord and was bombed and sunk Tirpitz was 2 metres longer overall and 1200 tons heavier (basic displacement) Tirpitz never fought and so most people think the Bismarck was larger, it was only a similar ship. The Bismarck and Tirpitz were sisterships, but the Tirpitz was a bit larger. Bismarck inflicted severe damage on the British battleship Prince of Wales at the Battle of Denmark Strait, but it was probably the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen which sank the British battle cruiser Hood. The Tirpitz did venture into the Atlantic, but without the success of other German warships.

Answer 2

Germany only had one battleship fleet; the High Seas Fleet. It only fought one IN-decisive action, and never fought another battle. The indecisive action was the Battle of Jutland in 1916; the largest sea battle until Leyte Gulf in 1945, but the German High Seas Fleet fought at least two smaller battles in the same area before Jutland in WW1. Germany had several battleships in WW1, but the High Seas Fleet was removed to Scapa Flow, Scotland after the war. In WW2, Germany only had two battleships, the Bismarck and the Tirpitz, along with three "pocket battleships," two battle cruisers, and three heavy cruisers.
