THE BATTLESHIP BISMARCK

1-218001

Completed in 1941, the 45,000-ton German battleship sunk the HMS Hood, the pride of the British Navy, and was then chased around the North Atlantic by many units of the Royal Navy. She was finally dispatched with gunfire and torpedoes on 27 May, less than five months after her completion. Her wreck still lies where she sank, 4,800m down and 960km off the west coast of France.

Drawing on new research and technology, this edition is the most comprehensive examination of Bismarck ever published. It includes a complete set of detailed line drawings with fully descriptive keys and full-color 3D artwork, supported by technical details, photographs and text on the building of the ship and a record of the ship's service history.
