Bismark is as loose an association to the nazis as you can get. It's the name of a way pre-nazi dude, and the ship was built way before they came to power, at least as far as i remember.
Granted. But in this hypothetical scenario reviving the name of a signal Nazi warship at the exact time of widespread regional concern over what is perceived to be reviving militarism in Germany could hardly be seen by Germany's neighbors as anything other than another action aimed at facilitating the reviving of militarism through rehabilitation of the symbols, icons, and memory of militarism.
