TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Sink the Bismarck (with luck?) JO - Defence and peace economics A1 - Kirkpatrick, David L.I. SP - 351 EP - 356 VL - 7 IS - 4 N2 - This paper describes a stochastic simulation of one of the key naval operations in World War II, and shows how the result of that operation might have differed considerably from the historical outcome. The simulation demonstrates that it is never possible to predict with confidence the results of military operations involving a few high-value units.
