I also think the Hood had poor design, but mangage to survive alot longer than The Bismarck. The Hood's deck's were made out of wood? or was it the top of her shell was made out of wood?I'm not sure. 
If they were that Great,The Bismarck and the Tripiz, surly they would of cause more damage. Maybe i'm missing some information about this two mighty ships.  |
2 Battleships against the might of the Royal Navy, Commonwealth Navies and the Royal Airforce, what did you really expect them to do, take hem all on by themselves? Considering that the Tirpitz and the Bismarck were commissioned in different years automatically means it will be 1 ship against the entire RN.
The Bismarck destroyed the RN's most powerful ship, and damaged another with the help of the Prinz Eugen. The Tirpitz never fired her guns in anger and this would have been because the British had seen what the Bismarck could do, since after all they were sister ships, so they decided to destroy here in a Fjord by bombers and not allow her to get into the open sea.
