A minor correction. Graf Spee was a "Pocket Battleship" and about 1/3 the tonnage of the Bismarck. Ostensibly she carried sixX11" guns in two triple turrets with a top speed of around 25kts. Bismarck was close to 50K tons, 8X15" guns and a speed of 30 kts.
My bad. Thought for a moment the
Bismark was
Deutchland Class, but obviously it was bigger and caused the Brits much concern. I was thinking of the
Admiral Scheer. Thanks for the correction.
