Secretary(1)	Gut.　私、ビスマルクの出番ね	Good. It is I, Bismarck's turn.
Secretary(2)	ライン演習作戦かぁ。懐かしいわねぇ。	Operation Rheinübung is it? This brings back memories.	Operation Rheinübung was the last commerce raiding operation Bismarck participated that resulted in her eventual destruction and sinking.

Minor damaged(1)	ぐぅっ！	Guh!
Minor damaged(2)	もう･･･！あの忌々しい複葉機を思い出すわね･･･！	Ahh! This reminds me of those annoying biplanes...!	Bismarck was torpedo bombed by Fairey Swordfish biplanes during Operation Rheinübung.
≥Moderately damaged	やられた･･･！舵は！？舵は大丈夫！？･･･なら、まだやれるわね･･･これからよ！	They got me...! The rudder! Is the rudder alright!?... Well then, I can continue on... from here.	All those torpedo bomb runs by the Swordfish biplanes eventually led to a successful hit on the rudder and jamming it to starboard, preventing Bismarck from escaping.
