Product Description

Product Description

The Bismarck is perhaps the most famous warship in the world. The German battleship, 45,000 tons, was completed in early 1941 and went on to sink the 'Mighty Hood', pride of the Royal Navy, in one of the most celebrated naval encounters ever. After a dramatic chase around the North Atlantic involving many units of the Royal Navy, Bismarck was finally brought to the big guns of the Home Fleet on 27 May, and dispatched with gunfire and torpedoes. Before this, however, she was the most fearsome battleship in any European navy. The 'Anatomy of the Ship' series aims to provide the finest documentation of individual ships and ship types ever published. What makes the series unique is a complete set of superbly executed line drawings, both the conventional type of plan as well as explanatory views, with fully descriptive keys. These are supported by technical details, photos and a record of the ship's service history. Complete with an extended ship's plan on the reverse of a fold-out jacket.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much expected, 17 Oct 2005
By M. E. West "book saddo" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For probably the most famoush warship of the 20th century, we could have expected better from the usually brilliant "Anatomy of the Ship" series.

In this volume, the drawings are of an exceptionally high standard and clarity- even by the high standards of the series. However, details of ammunition, for example, are sadly lacking.

The test provides a decent brief history, and that's as much as is ever expected in this series- there can be little new by now.

The weakest part of the book is the photographic section. Given access to the shipbuilder's archives, it's disapointing that the author hasn't done better. True, most of the photo's were new to me, but didn't reveal anything in particular.

Without doubt, these are the best plans of Bismarck I've seen in book form, but the rest of the volume lets them down somewhat.

Overall, a worthwhile book, but one that should have been much better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Battleship Bispmarck (Anatomy of the ship), 10 Oct 2006
By Ecm Diepmaat (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having read other books of the series, this one is less then I'd expected. The drawings are of good quality, but, studying photos, not entirely accurate. There is much more material available to expand the book to 256 pages or so. A few 3D drawings like in the book Dreadnought would surely make the book more worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best set of drawings available., 23 Aug 2009
By Clive Fouche (Auckland, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An outstanding reference and I can understand why this book can be hard to come by. This will be an invaluable reference for the model that I will soon be building; it even has the exact paint codes on the cover.
