==Description==
==Description==
The ''Bismarck'' was probably as formidable as any battleship then in service. Her primary armament consisted of eight 15-inch guns, mounted in four turrets (called Anton, Bruno, Caesar, and Dora), with a maximum range of 23.6 miles. These 15-inch guns fired projectiles weighing 1,700 pounds. Her secondary battery consisted of twelve 5.9 inch guns mounted in six turrets. She had 16 twin-mounted 4.3-inch long-range anti-aircraft guns and an unknown number of 37-mm. and 20-mm. close-range anti-aircraft guns. Her commanding officer was ''Kapitan zer See'' Ernst Lindemann.
