This is from a layperson's account of WWII:
El Bismarck fue puesto en grada en los astilleros
Blohm&Voss de Hamburgo en julio de
1936, y entró en servicio en la Armada alemana
durante agosto de 1940. Si bien la Kriegsmarine
tenía reservadas varias misiones para su acorazado
estrella, el Bismarck solo estuvo en servicio
ocho meses y apenas participó en una única
operación ofensiva.
just built?
Thanks
