Description: KANGNAM 1/400 German Battleship BISMARCK, NEW IN SHRINK WRAP Bismarck was the first of two Bismarck-class battleships built for Germany's Kriegsmarine. Named after Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, the ship was laid down at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg in July 1936 and launched in February 1939. Work was completed in August 1940, when she was commissioned into the German fleet. Bismarck and her sister ship Tirpitz were the largest battleships ever built by Germany, and two of the largest built by any European power. The ship, along with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was to break into the Atlantic Ocean in 1941 and raid Allied shipping from North America to Great Britain. At the Battle of the Denmark Strait the battleship HMS Hood was destroyed by the combined fire of Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. The destruction of HMS Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy involving dozens of warships determined to destroy the battleship. Following an aerial sortie by torpedo bombers from HMS Ark Royal that damaged the Bismark, in her final battle of the following morning, the already-crippled Bismarck was engaged by two British battleships and two heavy cruisers and sustained incapacitating damage and heavy loss of life. The ship was believed to be scuttled to prevent her being boarded by the British.
