Looks like a height joke (or in warship terms, length)?
Bismarck would be the 'tallest' in the room if not for Iowa. Gangut is 594ft, Warspite 645ft, Yamakaze 352ft. Bismarck stands at 823ft with Iowa still taller at 887ft.
Bismarck's torpedo protection systems were probably better than Iowa's..
Except around the rudder area apparently.
