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.
Sunk	また、ブレスト沖に還るのね･･･十分に撃ち合ったわ･･･満足、よ･･････	Once again, I shall return to Brest... I exchanged enough shells... I'm... satisfied...	Bismark was sunk on the way to the port at Brest, France.

Notes

• She received her second upgrade on 23/04/2014, together with Tone & Chikuma.
• She received third upgrade on 26/09/2014
  • Aside from an overall stat boost, she became the only allied battleship able to launch torpedoes in-game.
  • Battleship Re-Class is the first battleship overall that can launch torpedoes in-game.

Trivia

• She was sunk on her first operation on May 27, 1941 in the North Atlantic following incapacitating damage.
• Subsequent expeditions have shown that she was more likely scuttled by her crew.
• She was responsible for sinking the world's largest battlecruiser, the British HMS Hood (51).
• She & her sister Tirpitz were the largest ever built by Nazi Germany & any European power.
  • Her torpedo tubes are actually cribbed from Tirpitz, which was equipped with torpedoes.
• She's named after the German chancellor, Otto von Bismarck.
• Her wreck was discovered in 1989 by Dr. Robert Ballard.
• Her first remodel art is based on her Baltic camouflage applied partway through combat readiness training at Kiel Bay. Her second remodel art represents her repainting before departing Norway & into the Atlantic during Operation Rheinübung.
• 改 means "remodelled" (for the first time), 改二 means "remodelled a second time", etcetera. However, German ships use Zwei (two) & Drei (three) for 改二 & 改三, respectively, omitting the 改.
