What is confused about this?
Clearly, Bismarck fires shortly after PoW's first salvo and before her fall of shot.Ting-ting went the fire gong and I shut my eyes. BAROOM! The Prince of Wales' first salvo was away from A and B turrets. The slight concussion and the brown smoke that drifted aft (the wind dispersed it fairly quickly) brought welcome relief from inaction. My fingers moved up and down the three knobs. Suddenly a rippling yellow flash played in front of the Bismarck, followed by a dark cloud that, nearly blotting her out, hung for an appreciable time. She had fired. At whom? The range was 26,500 yds (nearly 13 miles) and it would take almost a minute to find out.

Ted Briggs is a signalman, he has other things to do. Geoffrey Brookes is a Gunnery Officer and is staring intently at Bismarck through high powered glasses. There is nothing convoluted about it, it could not be more straightforward.
