All of them. I addition to these dates there was at least one more while anchored at Pillau-roadstead on March 25th for heavy Flak.
Edit: I stand corrected, March 25th was also at sea.

Re: Poorly trained AA crews on Bismarck?
... In reality, Bismarck was, in Lindemann’s own evaulation, ready in all respects for a peace time cruise. The rush by the naval high command to get Bismarck into action had caused problems that limited Bismarck’s effectiveness. Actually: "The state of training that has been reached compares ...

Re: Was the battleship Bismarck really the best of its time?
Try PG33572. It contains most of the allotment from 1939 to 1941. However, there are several snipets in other Rolls.
AFAIK TS4 was meter wave and used for Flum. TS1 and TS6 were decimeter wave.

Re: Was the battleship Bismarck really the best of its time?
Hello Mr. Nilsson, you write: 'The first series is unit 1-31. That should be FuMG 39G (in case of Bismarck FuMO 23). It is almost confirmed Bismarck got unit 11 and 17 (the third one remains unclear). The first technical change was made in unit 32 and following (FuMG 40G?= FuMO 27). The whereabouts...

Re: Was the battleship Bismarck really the best of its time?
The crucial question is: What's the difference between FuMO 23 and 27 at all?
- 2000 Hz vs 500 Hz?
- No "Feinpeil" vs "Feinpeil"?
- TS1 tube vs TS9 tube?

Re: Shells fired by Prinz Eugen
Thank you for your replies! The magazines weren't full when they left Norway? "Verschuss" implies the shells were really shot. In my opinion it's unlikely PG wasn't fully equipped. The fact that 8 + 155 = 163 seems significant. I suspect that there was a typo in the M.A.Za. report and/or t...

Shells fired by Prinz Eugen
There is a discrepancy between Jasper's GAR and the request for topping up the shells.

Any thoughts?

Re: Was the battleship Bismarck really the best of its time?
Bismarck and Tirpitz were different. Bismarck's specific consumption was rising again beyond a certain WPS-rate, but Tirpitz' specific consumption (as a function of WPS) was always decreasing.

Prinz Eugen got radar sets from the first series (No. 10 foretop and No. 15 aft).

It's just a matter of a good memory, patience, opportunity, luck and unfortunately a whole lot of money.
