Well...
By the time of Denmark Strait, Hood was already 20 years old. It was a Battle CRUISER, not a battleship, which means she was built for speed, not armor protection. Bismarck, on the other hand, was a pure Battleship, and on top of that, in addition to better armor, her 15 inchers could fire 3 salvos a minute to Hood's 2. In other words, had Hood undergone a refurbishment years earlier, it might have stood a chance. But it didn't
(Sorry for sounding negative, but its true)

The manual for Bismarcks guns give a firing cycle of 26 secs,in practice they averaged rather a fair bit longer than that,other than that a fair assesement .

It doesnt rectify the mistake you have made. I reported you to the Association for German Naval veterans they are going to take legal action agains you in the near future. If you dont have any legal advice I can supply it for a flat rate of US$39.99 per hour plus tax.
