on it's suicide mission accompanied by 9 destroyers

Heading for Okinawa to beach themselves and serve as shore guns.... lol Probably the most idiotic plan ever.
 
Her final mission was as part of Operation Ten-Go following the invasion of Okinawa on 1 April 1945. She was sent on a suicide mission (commanded by Admiral Seiichi Ito) to attack the US fleet supporting the US troops landing on the west of the island. On 6 April Yamato and her escorts, the light cruiser Yahagi and 8 destroyers, left port at Tokuyama. They were sighted on 7 April by American submarines as they exited the Inland Sea southwards. The U.S. Navy launched 386 aircraft to intercept the task force, and the planes engaged the ships starting at 12:30 that afternoon. Yamato took 8 bombs and 10 torpedo hits before, at about 14:23, she capsized to port and her aft magazines detonated. She sank while still some 200 km from Okinawa. Of her crew 2,475 were lost, and the 269 survivors were picked up by the escorting destroyers. Some reports claim that a number of survivors were machine-gunned in the water by U.S. aircraft.[1] However, other Japanese survivors reported that U.S. aircraft temporarily halted their attacks on the Japanese destroyers during the time that the destroyers were busy picking up survivors from the

the Japs were kinda out of options

It's funny how the biggest Japs and german battleship saw little action during WWII (Yamoto, Musahsi, Tirpitz and Bismarck).

the Bismarck got fucked by a very lucky torpedo hit that fucked up it's rudder
out there essentially alone and unable to maneuver it was only a matter of time until the Royal Navy could box her in with insurmountable odds

The way the German navy used their battleship made them compltely useless (out there with no aircraft carrier). Submarines were way more cost-effective at attacking convoy.

there were to be used as merchant raiders
from quick recall the Bismarck was faster than comparable sized Royal Navy battleships
so she could escape an outnumbered confrontation
and sink anything fast enough to keep up with her(e.g. Hood)
 
24 May 1941 (Saturday):

0543. Course 220º. Speed 28 knots. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen sight two ships at 17 miles on port side.
0552. Hood opens fire and the Battle of the Denmark Strait begins. Bismarck reports to Group North: "Am in a fight with two heavy units."

0555. Bismarck fires her first salvo at Hood followed shortly after by Prinz Eugen.

0555-0601. Bismarck is hit on the port side by three 35.6cm shells from Prince of Wales. One amidships under the armoured belt (section XIV), a second in her bows (section XXI), and the third one passes through a boat.

0601. Hood blows up and sinks in approximate position 63º 22' North, 32º 17' West.

0602-0609. Bismarck scores four hits on Prince of Wales.

0609. Fires last salvo at Prince of Wales. 93 x 38cm armour piercing shells (Psgr. L/4,4 (m.Hb)) fired. She is losing oil and her top speed is reduced to 28 knots. 2,000 tons of water in the forecastle.

0632. Bismarck reports to Group North: "Battlecruiser, probably Hood, sunk. Another battleship, King George or Renown, damaged. Two heavy cruisers keep up surveillance."

0705. Bismarck reports to Group North: "We have sunk a battleship at about 63º 10' North, 32º 00' West."

0801. Bismarck reports to Group North:
1. Loss of Electric plant No. 4.
2. Port Boiler Room No. 2 is taking water, but can be held. Water in forecastle.
3. Maximum speed 28 knots.
4. Denmark Strait 50 miles of floating mines. Enemy has radar instruments.
5. Intention: to put to St. Nazaire. No losses of personnel.

1200. Position 60º 50' North, 37º 50' West.

1240. New course 180º. Speed 24 knots.

1814. Turns 180º to starboard while the Prinz Eugen leaves the formation.

1840-1856. Fires some shells at Suffolk and Prince of Wales. No hits.

1914. Bismarck reports to Seekriegsleitung: “Brief fight with King George without results. Prinz Eugen released for oiling. Opponent keeps up surveillance.”

2056. Bismarck reports to Group West and Seekriegsleitung: "Shaking off contacts impossible due to enemy radar. Due to fuel [shortage] will proceed directly to Saint-Nazaire."

2300. Sighted by the United States Coast Guard Cutter Modoc.

Midnight. Bismarck is attacked by eight Swordfish of the 825th Squadron (Lieutenant-Commander (A) Eugene Esmonde) from carrier Victorious. Bismarck's speed 27 knots. The battleship is hit by one 18 inch MK XII torpedo on the starboard side, amidships. The damage is insignificant, but the shock of the impact causes one casualty aboard: Oberbootsmann Kurt Kirchberg.
 
0912-0948. Bismarck reports to Group West and Seekriegsleitung: “Possession of radar equipment by opponent, effective range at least 35,000 meters, adversely affects to the highest degree the operations in the Atlantic. Ships were located in the Strait of Denmark in dense fog and were continuously tracked. Disengagement failed even in favourable weather conditions. Oil replenishment is generally no longer possible, if disengagement of opponent cannot be accomplished with higher speed. Running battle between 20,800 and 18,000 meters. Opponent Hood concentrates fire on Bismarck. After five minutes, Hood is destroyed by an explosion; thereafter, change of target to King George who then turns away in black smoke caused by definitively observed hits. He remains out of sight for several hours. Own munitions expenditure: 93 rounds. Later, King George took on the fight only at extreme distances. Bismarck received two hits from King George; of those one hit below the side armour belt at sections XIII-XIV. Hit in compartment XX-XXI impaired speed and caused a 1º bow burying forward and destruction of oil cells. Release of Prinz Eugen possible by engagement of cruisers and battleship by Bismarck during fog. Own EM-2 [radar] instrument prone to failures, especially during firing.”

26 May 1941 (Monday):

1030. Sighted by Catalina Z/209 flying boat at about 49º 20' North, 21º 50' West.
1740. Sighted by Sheffield.

2047-2115. Attacked by fifteen Swordfish of the 810th, 818th, and 820th Squadrons from carrier Ark Royal. The Bismarck is hit by two (or three) 18 inch MK XII torpedoes. One torpedo (or two) hits the port side amidships, and another hits the stern in the starboard side. As a result of this attack both rudders jammed at 12º to port.
 
Bismarck reports to Supreme Command of the Navy (O.K.M.) and Group West: "Ship unable to manoeuvre. We will fight to the last shell. Long live the Führer."

2238. Sighted by Polish destroyer Piorun.

2242. Opens fire against Piorun.

2325. Bismarck reports to Group West: "Am surrounded by Renown and light forces."

2358. Bismarck reports: "To the Führer of the German Reich, Adolf Hitler: We shall fight to the last man with confidence in you, my Führer, and with rock-solid trust in Germany's victory!"

2359. Bismarck reports to Group West: “Ship is weaponry-wise and mechanically fully intact; however, it cannot be steered with the engines."
