Questions Possibly Related to Bismarck, MissouriProvided By Y! Answers
WW2 hypothetical time: 1944, atlantic ocean, uss missouri (iowa class) vs Tirpitz (bismarck class). winner?
Question:
to most people the easy answer is that the missouri should win but there are many bismarck loyalists who say otherwise. i want to see who has the facts on their side
now i will post some ship stats to show the bismarck fans what they have to work with:
IOWA CLASS:
57,470 tons full load
33kt, 15,000 nm at 15kt
belt 12.1 inch, armor deck 12 inch total
9x16" guns, 2700# shells, 43,000 yards
radar controlled guns 18 miles effective
protected fire control and rudder
BISMARCK CLASS
50,153 tons full load
30 kt, 8900 nm at 17kt
belt 12.6 in, armor deck 4.7 inch total
8x15" guns, 1750# shells, 39,000 yards
optic controlled guns, 14 miles effective
unprotected fire control and rudder
it seems that the stats are greatly favoring the iowa class with superior protection vs plunging shells, ship speed, steaming range, gun range, shell weight, protected fire control center, protected damage control center, independant armored rudders, and ability to shoot and maneuver at the same time.
okay bismarck guys, make an argument that counters all of these statistics!
Answer:
I'd go with the Iowa class. It was a newer design, with larger guns and better fire control. The US Navy also really prided itself on the gunnery skills of it's battleship crews so they would have gotten the most out of the guns. It would have been a tough fight to be sure, the Bismark class were very capable ships. But in the end I think the newer, larger guns of the Iowa would have been the desiding factor.
The fearsome reputation of the German ships was not because they were the biggest or most dangerous in the world. Instead it was their threat as surface raiders attacking convoys that made them so feared. If a Battlehip or even a heavy cruiser were to attack a convoy they could probably wipe it out completely. Especially since the usual escorts were no match for such a ship. This required much heavier escorts for convoys. And even the Royal Navy did not have the ships necessary to provide battleship escorts for all the convoys they needed to protect.
