Re: Was the battleship Bismarck really the best of its time?
Seetakts were modular systems. "Feinpeil Modul" and "Entfernung fein Modul" were easy to integrate -if not installed-; these modules(Zusatzgerät) characterize the firecontrol "Seetakt". Gneisenau / Scharnhorst and Prinz Eugen definately had both modules. and Bismarck wa...
