Re: How close was the final battle?
Rodney didn't change speed, your measurement is simply wrong. Rodney traveled approximately 5 nm between 9:02 and 9:17.

I measured about 2.5 nm between 9:02 and 9:09 ~ 21.5 knots for Rodney on the map.Mustang wrote: ↑Fri May 26, 2023 9:13 am

Re: Diameter of the extendable boom in the nose of Bismarck
I’m sure you’ve seen drawings of how this was all rigged, but one question I’ve always had, and seen dodged a dozen times, is now the line was passed from the end of bugspire to the paravane.

Re: Bismarck RDF equipment
The two antenna "loops" are at right angles to each other. Each of them is connected to a coil. These two coils are at right angles to each other as well. One of these coins is slightly smaller and inside the other one. So they are building an axially symmetrical kind of "frame"....

Re: GHG and the related warnings
Obviously 195° at 4:25 was a typo in the KTB. Should read 295°.

Re: Was the battleship Bismarck really the best of its time?
Herr Nilsson, Do I understand this correct? TS1 transmitter tube 2kw TS6 transmitter tube 8kw. Both could be used with 500Hz PRF or 2000Hz PRF units. "Peilung fein" module could be used with either TS1 or TS6 and both 2000 Hz PRF or 500 Hz PRF. Bismarck used 2000 PRF on all its Seetakt. &...

Re: Poorly trained AA crews on Bismarck?
... The Kriegsmarine had lost quite a few ships by May 1941, there must have been a few experienced hands (survivors) drafted to Bismarck surely? ... IIRC a lot of Bismarck's crew were from ships lost during the Norway campaign. Von Müllenheim-Rechberg was first officer of "Erich Giese", ...
