Uploaded a new technical article in German to the website, where retired Kapitän zur See Alfred Schulze-Hinrichs, an expert in the field of seamanship wonders whether the battleship Bismarck could have reached St. Nazaire by contrarotating her three propellers.

I'd like to see this article in English before I can comment directly on it.

Leaving aside the technical matters and sea conditions, and that Bismarck had a fleet staff including fleet engineer on board - by 26 May were the senior officers in a capable condition for attempting to devise these sort of countermeasures to the jammed rudder problem?
