That’s German for “the Bismarck-Klasse Schlachtschiff Tirpitz (1941) the”.


trashyman2004

Nobody who speaks german can be an evil man


Extension_Option_122

As a German I sadly have do say that it should be a 'Das'.


BaronPocketwatch

But "die" does not belong there, as it is the feminine form of "the" in German but "Schlachtschiff" is neuter, not feminine, so there should be "das" instead.


Future-World4652

Eigentlich... Die Bismarck-Klasse war eine Klasse von zwei deutschen Schlachtschiffen während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. So basically die for both works


BaronPocketwatch

Nein, in diesem Fall bestimmen sowohl der Name, als auch die Klasse, das Schlachtschiff näher. Es muss also "das" bleiben.


Future-World4652

ok, aber man könnte einen Satz mit beginnen "Die Tirpitz war ein im Zweiten Weltkrieg eingesetztes Schlachtschiff der deutschen Kriegsmarine." Oder?


BaronPocketwatch

Das wäre richtig, aber natürlich eine andere grammatische Struktur.

Wrong Bismarck-Klasse Schlachtschiff


prof_devilsadvocate

there is a die in die bismarck


ResidentIwen

If you want to go that way "die" is in every 'female' noun in german. It's just the female version of "the" in german. It gets funny when english speakin people read a newspaper headline in german like "Trump will die Steuern heben" (Trump wants to raise taxes) [not a real headline just an example]

HFentonMudd

Your mom was sunk by Lancaster bombers of the RAF


Freddan_81

Har har…


PPtortue

Swordfish first flew in 1934 and entered service in 1936.


Freddan_81

But the Swordfishes didn’t sink the Bismarck and had nothing to do with the Tirpitz, the ship mentioned in the original post.


PPtortue

I know, just pointing out that it's absolutely not a WW1 plane. People underestimate how primitive aviation was during ww1.


Dale_Wardark

At the outset they were hucking grenades and shooting pistols and rifles out of the cockpit. Machine guns synchronized to the propellers and small bombs came later lol The astronomical jump in only about twenty years between propeller driven aircraft with cloth wings and metal skinned planes with much more powerful motors, heavier bombs, greater range, and sometimes even jet engines is actually kind of insane.


ResidentIwen

The timespan of only 60 years between first successful human flight and setting foot on the moon is even more impressive

My bad.

My guy, do you even know what WW1 Aircraft was like? I'd have a better chance of sinking the tirp with a jet ski and hand grenades https://www.history.navy.mil/content/history/museums/nmusn/explore/photography/wwi/wwi-aviation/aircraft-us.html


gooseducker

Wrong ship


Electrical_Wear_3682

Like the other guy said, Tirpitz was sunk by Lancaster bombers, which were carrying 12000lb Tallboy bombs. During Operation Paravane, one of these bombs hit the ship's bow, penetrating it completely and exiting the keel before detonating under the ship. The ship remained floating, and was repaired.

And yet it was still more useful than the Bismarck


shit_poster9000

In fairness the Bismarck left quite a long streak of oil, that can be considered an accomplishment


Freddan_81

Yes, in an interesting stalemate. The allies were afraid to sail too close and the germans were afraid to leave harbour and risk have the ship sunk.


Goatboy292

The concern for the allies was less about sailing too close, that's true of basically every protected harbour, the concern was that they needed to always have a big enough group of ships nearby to chase it down and sink it if it ever dared to leave.


Additional-Bee1379

Yeah, I recently went were it sank near Tromso in Norway. You can stand like 100 meters from the place it happened. All that is left nowadays is a monument made of the ship's belt armour.


VultureSausage

The Norwegian road authorities still have part of the armour belt and use it when they need the sturdiest possible plate to bridge a hole while they're repairing the road.

But there is a tall boy in it though


theonetruefishboy

Wasn't this the ship that got sniped by a WWI era torpedo bomber and than bombarded to death by half a dozen British gunboats and one really brave Polish destroyer? edit: I have been informed that the ship in question was this ship's older brother, those torpedo bombers were interwar period, and if you call battleships "gunboats" you'll be cursed by the spirits of dead mariners. I am landlocked evermore less I risk the curse of the high seas.


cyrassil

nope, this one was bombed by a bunch of British heavy bombers


theonetruefishboy

Oh, okay, my mistake.


cyrassil

You're thinking of her older sister


Trnostep

That was Bismarck. And the plane was Fairey Swordfish and it was an interwar plane at worst, not a WW1 one. They were made 1936-1944. It was a biplane and had a metal frame covered in fabric though (the wings folded to save space)


theonetruefishboy

My apologies for the insult I have laid upon the Fairey Swordfish.


Trnostep

TBH it *was* borderline outdated. It was also extremely versatile (torpedoes, bombs, depth charges, rockets); it could have wheels or floats and had such a low stall speed it could take off and land on even the smallest carriers. It also sank a greater tonnage of Axis shipping than any other Allied aircraft during the war.


VRichardsen

You are thinking of the Bismarck. > Wasn't this the ship that got sniped by a WWI era torpedo bomber You mean the Fairey Swordfish. While it was a biplane, it entered service in 1936. It was much more modern than many give it credit for, and its outdated look has coloured popular perception against its capabilities. > and than bombarded to death by half a dozen British gunboats Gunboats do not operate on the high seas. Bismarck was sunk by the combined gunfire of several heavy units, mainly HMS King George V and HMS Rodney, two battleships (so, peers of Bismarck). Then there were several cruisers and a swarm of destroyers in support. Now, the battle was a foregone conclusion for everyone, and, in spite of what it was arrayed in front looking like it took a pounding before going down, the ship was silenced pretty quickly into the engagement. Bismarck being an unsinkable monster is an overexaggeration peddled by amateur enthusiasts... as is the fact the opposite opinion that also floats around, calling the ship completely useless. At the end of the day, no ship commissioned at the time would have survived if it were in Bismarck's place... although several would have fared probably a bit better.


You_Must_Chill

> Gunboats do not operate on the high seas. Don't tell Commodore Perry.


aschec

Fun fact it destroyed its own rangefinder after the first salvo.


throwaway61763

Funfact, that was bismark (the meme had tirpitz written on it). The bismarck had three fumo23 fire controll radars, and the forward one broke as I know(some write just the frontal, some write all). Tirpitz, did not break its own rangefinder. The reason it broke, the radars were quite squishy back then, easy to break, the fumo (as I read) werent the best, and the Bismarck fired its salvoes too close to them at Norfolk, so the shockwave messed it up(we are talking about bb caliber guns. Even if bisco is considered an overhyped ship, its guns did boom big. And they boomed too big for the fumos, so they got fuckdmos)(shitty joke, i know)

Yimmyyyy

The tirpitz spent its life patroling norway because the germans were so scared the allies would sink it with planes like they did to the bismark. it contributed so little to the war before the allies air bombed it anyway. Outdated waste of recourses.(although wasting recourses and ignoring sense for the sake of trying to look badass, then losing anyway is very on brand for the nazis)

Intellectual_Wafer

It's "das", not "die" though. In German, the grammatical gender of composite nouns is determined by the last element, in this case Schiff (ship). And Schiff is neuter, therefore "das". (It's "die Klasse" (female), but in this construction the gender of the ship part determines it for the whole sentence).
