I find it a bit funny that people only talk about the Bismark to refer to a BS needs power. You do know there was another Battleship BIGGER than the Bismark? Do you know that this ship died because it had NO fighter cover? If you ask how good was this ship: it could run at 27 knots and shoot 18.1in guns at a range of about 12k. And it died to fighters.
Read carefuly the part that talks about operation Ten-Go.
Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.
He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.
