German warship sunk in May 1941 (8)

I believe the answer is:

bismarck

(Other definitions for bismarck that I've seen before include "The Iron Chancellor" , "city" , "Smack rib badly of a 19th century German statesman" , "North Dakota's capital" , "Otto von --, German statesman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
