Bismarck

The Bismarck was a naval battleship used by Germany in the Second World War. In 1941, the British Royal Navy launched an attack on her, with the ship losing control of its rudder and only able to move in circles. The Bismarck sank soon after.

In 2371, Benjamin Sisko compared the Dominion's destruction of the USS Defiant's starboard power coupling to the lucky torpedo attack on the Bismarck.
 * The USS Bismarck and the ISS Bismarck may have been named after the battleship.
