Much of the Allied fleet was diverted to hunting her down during her breakout into the Atlantic in 1941.\u003ci\u003e The Bismarck\u003c\/i\u003e is an in-depth examination of this classic ship that represented the pinnacle of the Nazi war machine at sea. The book begins by tracing the regrowth of the German navy after World War I, and Hitler's plans for rearmament. After 1935 the German navy is allowed to build capital ships again, and the book then examines every aspect of the \u003ci\u003eBismarck\u003c\/i\u003e's development and construction, including detailed sections on her design, armament, powerplant, crew and armour. In addition, there is a chapter devoted to the \u003ci\u003eBismarck\u003c\/i\u003e in action, with descriptions of the ship's only voyage in anger, its successful sinking of HMS \u003ci\u003eHood\u003c\/i\u003e and the ship's final showdown 300 miles west of Ushant when she was torpedoed and then finished off by the guns of the Royal Navy.
