G&D Axis Battleships - Bismarck beam 118ft ~ 35.78m.

Not that it makes a difference - the key is prismatic coefficient!
See here:

118 feet = 35.9664 meters :wink:

Otherwise agreed.

Re: Sunday, May 24th anniversay

@all Well, maybe anyone can help me. As you know my English isn't very good, but where is written in the Suffolk log that there was any radar contact between 2028 and 0246. Thanks in advance! edit: @Duncan So Bismarck's flank speed is just 28 knots? 43000 tonnes, 138000 mshp = 29 knots (as per the D...

AOS Bismarck states 6.71 at 45,951 tonnes and a beam of 36m.
That's the maximum beam, not the waterline beam.
36m is waterline beam.

Re: Sunday, May 24th anniversay

You're quite correct. I've clearly overestimated Bismarck's maximum speed. How do you come to that conclusion? We have Bismarck steaming at flank speed, as per PE's War Diary, and a steady radar plot from Suffolk recording Bismarck' s speed as 28 knots. T So Bismarck's flank speed is just 28 knots?

Re: Sunday, May 24th anniversay

Ciao all, so, reading above it looks like there is another official evidence about Bismarck being capable of 30,6 knots. Thanks Marc for the document reference I did not have. Bye Antonio :D I'm sorry, but in the absence of clarifying info, such as displacement, SHP and/or RPM this is hardly eviden...

I'm afraid, but I don't have the permission. It's from a comparison between Richelieu and Bismarck made by the construction office for Raeder.

Re: Sunday, May 24th anniversay

I didn't want to disturb your discussion. :wink: However, the flooding into generator room, and the boiler rooms would have created a lot of trim down on the bow. If solidly flooded: E-Maschinen-Raum 4: 13 cm Kesselraum Bb 2: 36 cm By the way Luetjens stated 1 degree trim down on bow. So that's .49m...

LOL. Yes, of course he is no reliable source. He tells the story from his point of view, but his book is just an adaptation of other books. I'm always wondering why he is such an object of worship. Yes, there was a trim by the bow and a list, but they weren't that big. Although I believe Bismarck wa...
