Re: bismark-after torpedo hit
The Hessen-method was very dependent on the particular ship. On other ships of the Braunschweig-class and the Deutschland-class it didn't work (it was "several times even called infeasible"). On SMS Wettin it worked in case of the rudder jammed to starboard, while it didn't work with port-...

Plates 1-54 main belt, plates 55-84 upper belt. The main belt plates were roughly twice as heavy as the upper belt plates.

Re: Bismarck's TDS so abysmal?
2) What appears to be a flaw, actually isn't a flaw, and our negative interpretation of this feature resides in our incomplete or incorrect understanding of the full situation. I think 2) is possible. This kind of "gap" already existed on the large cruisers of the Mackensen-class and the ...

Re: Distance from armor deck to top edge of the barbettes.
There were conical barbettes also on Derfflinger. I have the dim feeling it might have to do with the supporting structures/bulkheads below the armor deck and/or transformation of the gun-support „cylinder“ from an octagonal shape to a circle.

Re: Distance from armor deck to top edge of the barbettes.
Gally's drawing is copied from the lines drawing plan. A lines drawing is always without plating. My calculation is the distance between the upper edge of the Panzerdeck and the lower edge of the Oberdeck: Lower edge Panzerdeck + armor thickness = upper edge Panzerdeck -> Lower edge Oberdeck - upper...

Re: Distance from armor deck to top edge of the barbettes.
Hello Mr. Rico, thanks. Did the 'Panzerdeck' level had a sheer outside ord. 32 and 202.7? I think yes (obviously less accentualted even than Batteriedeck). hans No, the "Panzerdeck" (10.5-202.7) has no sheer, but the "Zwischendeck" has a sheer between 202.7 and stem. Hello Mr. N...

Re: Distance from armor deck to top edge of the barbettes.
The lower edge of the Panzerdeck is at 10300 above keel. There is no sheer.

Re: Distance from armor deck to top edge of the barbettes.
In regard of the barbettes:
6390 mm is the nominal value with a tolerance of +-20 mm.
In regard of the distances:
The level of the upper deck is the same for Anton and Dora (15850 mm above keel).

Re: Bismarck radar detector
Hello Mr. Nilsson, thanks, imho Brennecke input is a most valuable one. Would you mind to post his wording to demonstrate that the Baron 'copied' ? From whom did Hepke 'copy' ? Everything (various sources, messages, logic, etc.) point to BS being equipped with a passive detector (available at the t...
