The Bismarck's captain requested that it be male because it was far too powerful to be known as a she.

indeed

Or something along those lines

unfortunately, he was one of the only to have that honor

meanwhile the yamato is just wasted potential

Yea

frickin thing lost to a damn destroyer of all things

How did the Yamato sink? I really don't know much about it

it got assfucked from 13 different directions via aircraft

thats putting it mildly

basically remember those action scenes with a shitton of ants eating up a dude?

its like that

but with aircraft

vs a battleship

> No, Tirpitz was Bismarck's sister ship, and Bismarck was Tirpitz' brother ship, Tirpitz is female and Bismarck is male
Oh ok

Gotcha

> How did the Yamato sink? I really don't know much about it
@HUNTER4639 The Americans launched over 300 aircraft against the Yamato and her escort group...

aka it got assfucked from 13 different directions via aircraft

yeah

The Yamato was a MASSIVE battleship. 863 feet long, 172 foot beam, weighing 72,000 tons. The Yamato and the Musashi both had a main battery of 9x 460mm naval guns. That's 18.1 inches. The largest naval to be deployed in combat.

and still lost to a bunch of buzzy bois

ffs

the damn thing had to retreat because it took damage from destroyer of all things

Yamato: exists
Americans: time to spam aircraft.

oh boi

Actually the reason why the Yamato retreated in that one battle is because they didn't want to be damaged by American torpedoes launched from a destroyer that missed their intended target.

hmm

even though they had guns that were more then capable of taking the damn destroyer out

Oh I see. Thanks

A History channel! Oooooh yeeeah

Heel yea

anyone have any watch recommendations that are in the same areas as Europa - The Last Battle?

> Tirpitz, when launched, was as large as the Bismarck. Wartime modifications increased his weight by around 2,000 tons, making Tirpitz the largest battleship ever built by a European power.
@Dr Badass PhD all german ships during ww2 went by the male pronoun, dont remember the exact reason why tho

@Zilla it was because they were built different 😎

Also only battleships

SS-CL were like

Shes

And CA-BB is like a he

Because they symbolize strength or something
