Only thing I am personally surprised is that they didn't give her bigger cannons or at least triple cannons.

Just that considering Hitler's love for grand things, I was thinking that he'd say: "MAKE IT BIGGER DAMMIT"
He wanted a Maus after all... A big tank that consumed as much gas as a light cruiser... Was expecting the Bismarck to have a bigger caliber (and they were hiding a lot of stuff before they went to war anyway)
