Thorsten, to me this looks pretty much like a grammar mistake or a typo instead of a personal choice between the feminine and masuline gender. Here should have worked the genitive case best in order to point out the masculine gender ("Verlust des Bismarcks" (he/it) vs. "Verlust der Bismarck" (she)). "Den" Bismarck is nonsens in any gender in that context.
As I always say ... "if in doubt, leave it out" ...
Happy guessing ~ Olaf!
