Recently some people got offended, because I called the Bismarck an advanced warship for 1940. In the video: Why the Bismarck didn't shoot down any of the Swordfish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTO3JagV8gE The Intro line of the video was: "The German battleship Bismarck was one of the most advanced warships at its commission, yet during its first operation it was struck critically by Fairey Swordfish bi-plane bombers, which look quite archaic and old-fashioned." In this episode Justin (Master in Military History) and I will discuss the statement and several aspects around Warship Construction, Naval Warfare, Context, Ship Classes like Iowa, Yamato, North Carolina, Treaty regulations and all the other stuff that matters.
