The latest Northcape album Exploration and Ascent, the follow-up to 2010's Captured From Static and 2011's Alluvial EP, was released by Sun Sea Sky Productions in early 2013. This was followed by the organically-inspired Glasshouse EP in 2014. Current work continues to widen and deepen Northcape's style of electronica, bringing in influences from a wide range of genres including IDM, electronica, shoegaze and ambient music. Previous releases include a first self-released CD in 2005, a second independent release ('Detach') in 2007 and an EP ('Some Bright Valley EP') on the Monotonik netlabel.

Some more things
Bismarck's power to the rangefinders and radars would cut off if it fired a full salvo
Ship in this vid had one of the worst guns but on a battleship
Italy and japan should have given some of their ships to germany
No task forces

This reminds me. My great-grandfather was on a Kriegsmarine's ship en-route to Narvik, and they suddenly got a warning that the British submarine is about to torpedo the ship. The commander ordered soldiers to abandon the ship, so most of them jumped. But my great grandfather couldn't swim, so he didn't. Turns out, it was just a false alarm. The torpedos never hit the ship. Those poor souls that jumped freezed to death.
Afterwards, they were captured by the Soviets and he spent whole months in a gulag. Yet he managed to escape through Siberia and returned safely home.
EDIT Okay, I just called my grandfather to confirm or negate this story. The last time I heard it was 2 years ago, so I got some things wrong. I will leave my original comment as it was, only adding my debunking here below.
Here it goes.
My great-grandfather Casimir * was 21 years old when the war broke out. He was already married by that point, but had no children yet. He was from the part of East Prussia that was given to Poland after WW1, namely Działdowo/Soldau region. His brother lived few villages away, in Poland proper, so to say, and was a cavalry man in the Polish army before the war. He participated in the war games near the German border just some months before and died during the September Campaign. My great-grandfather, meanwhile, wasn't part of the military pre-war, he was just a simple farmer living with a wife. But as the Germans conquered Poland, he was forced to join the Wehrmacht. Had he refused, his wife would be shot. So he joined the artillery unit, mostly made up from Poles from Mazovia or Prussia.
He didn't want to serve, really, and soon he shot himself in the foot, hoping to be discharged, or at least be able to return home. The doctor allowed him to do so, but the great-grandfather of mine was well aware that it was risky - the doctor could've easily have him shot for attempt of desertion. He spent some time home and returned to the service.
It was 1940. The Battle of Narvik was happening and his unit was sent on a transport ship , it's possible that it wasn't even military vessel, just civilian one repurposed for the task. There was supposedly 3000 men aboard.
Now, the situation I described previously really happened. As the ship was unarmed, as soon as British submarine was sighted, the order was given for the soldiers to save their lives and jump to the sea. Remember, they were at the Norwegian Sea. I'm assuming it was at least May, if not June, as my grandfather said that they were sent there pretty late, when the battle was almost over, as the reinforcement. Even then, the water was freezing cold. Supposedly 300 men jumped, which makes it only slight portion of all the people at the ship, but still, it was pretty scary. In the end, those people died for nothing, as the ship wasn't destroyed after all.
After that they turned back, as it was too late to help the German troops at Narvik (?). They were around Aarhus, which is in Denmark. They retreated to the Baltic Sea and were sent on the Eastern front afterwars . They were stationed near Vorkuta, as the area was controlled by German forces. (this likely means there is a time gap in grandfather's story, as the Operation Barbarossa didn't happen in 1940, but much later). He fought for some time at the Eastern front. When the Soviet counteroffensive began, his unit (made up mainly from Polish soldiers and one German officer) sat in a bunker, with the single (?) piece of artillery. When the Soviets were charging at their position, the commanding office either fled or capitulated, only to be shot later. One Soviet soldier rushed into the bunker and the first thing he did, was to demand the golden rings and watches from the soldiers. One of the soldiers didn't have any watch, and was shot immidetely. My great-grandfather had both the watch and a wedding ring. It stuck on his finger and he had to rip the skin apart with his teeth to get it out. Those soldiers who gave up their belongings survived.
The unit was then captured and forced to move on foot to a work camp. Sadly, I didn't get the name of said camp, I only know that it was somewhere in North-Western Russia, possibly near Smolensk. They walked for 7 days straight, and were not allowed to eat or drink anything. The only time they drank anything, was from a puddle. When they arrived at the work camp, they had to stand in a row. The Soviet officer pointed at each of them and counted to 10. Every tenth soldier would be responsible for the remaining 9. It was due to the luck that my great-grandfather was chosen to such a possition. Later on, he volunteered for a work (as he knew some Russian) as a quartermaster (if I got the term correctly, he was basically responsible for the camps warehouse). It was in the camp that he traded for some of the "luxury items" he then took home.
Now, I don't know how the camp was guarded, but at some point, the Russian underground soldiers stopped by few times and offered him to join. He refused, but as they later on learned where he was from and as his home was still occupied by the Germans, the partisans advised him not to join until the area wasn't "freed" by the Soviet army. He spent the rest of the war in the camp and left it once the war was over.
He then traveled home, carrying a suitcase with things like an axe, soap, some money and other things he could have used at a farm. The golden teeth he traded in the camp, were inside the matchbox, which he incidentally threw off the window when he thought it was empty. At the last station before his arrival at home, he was approached by few Soviet soldiers who then took this suitcase from him.
So, yeah. I got many things wrong. The fact that it was possibly a civilian, unarmed ship, changes everything about this situation. Apologies for that. I also got some informations about the great-great grandfather, father of Casimir, who fought in the German Imperial Army during the WW1, mostly in the Balkans, around Croatia. By the time of WW2, he was an old man, so he didn't have to join the army, but he was sent to work instead. He build the road for the famous Wolfsschanze bunker in East Prussia. By the time they had only 1 km of the road left to build, the workers heard that once they would be done with it, they would be shot to keep the existance of the base a secret. So he ran and hid in the woods for a week. Mind you, it was some 100 km from home, and he returned on foot there.
Some time later, he had to take up arms as a part of Volkssturm. He fought on the Eastern front and was captured by the Soviet soldiers who sent him to the workcamp, where he worked as a shoemaker.
That's my mother's part of family. I don't know much about the fathers part, as my father isn't particulary interested in family history, and the only thing I know is that my grandfather, a little kid at the time when the war was ending, found the German uniforms in a forest together with his father and as it happened during the winter and they were but poor farmers, they put them on. When they were slowly returning home, some Soviet soldiers appeared and almost shot them, before my great-grandfather shouted in Russian "Don't shoot! We're Poles!".

Did the German surface navy ever have a decent showing in an engagement?
Yeah, there were a few.
* The most famous one is perhaps the Battle of the Denmark Strait, where the British lost a battlecruiser and a battleship ended up heavily damaged.
* Battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, on the 8th of June 1940, sunk the aircraft carrier HMS Glorious and two escorting destroyers for no losses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Glorious#Sinking
* Battleship Tirpitz sailed to intercept convoy PQ 17, but missed it. However, the threat of the battleship caused the convoy to disperse, and it was decimated by submarine and air attack. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convoy_PQ_17
* Battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau executed Operation Berlin, a large raid on the Atlantic. During the course of it, they sunk or captured 22 ships for no losses.
And, of course, I could "cheat" your question by providing WW I answers, where the German fleet was noticeably more powerful and participated in one of the largest naval battles in history (and the largest by tonnage involved), Jutland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_UryFjKUsM

All the destroyers survived the war, Z38 was even commissioned by the Royal Navy as HMS Nonsuch before being scrapped in the early 50s

They think that their heavy cruiser is enough, but it aint enough against 6 british ships, while their not heavy cruisers.

@Old Skool Wax You have no idea what the Royal navy was built for try and not cringe too hard ok pal
Bert Trombetta
Those few German capital ships tied up a shit tonne of Royal Navy surface ships and as convoy escorts, out of all proportion to their numbers. That has military value too even if they weren't as successful in terms of tonnage sunk competed to the u-boats
