An absurdist look at the sinking of the German Battleship Bismarck. The play mostly centers around the crew of the Bismarck during their maiden voyage and their mission to seek out and destroy the British convoys in the North Atlantic. Sounds simple enough, but before they can achieve their glorious objective, they must first survive sailing around in circles through a fog bank, a tap dance number, an eccentric admiral, and getting military advice from a very fowl source. And of course, there is always the British Royal Navy, who is desperate to sink the German battleship. Of course, getting the order to sink the battleship is one thing. They soon find that carrying out that order is an adventure in itself.
