That caught my eye too. Either Germany is planning to build another Bismarck and another Tirpitz, or this is yet another example of sloppy reporting.

“Define battleship.” to non military folks today, any boat with a gun on it is a “battleship.”

I think somebody mis-translated the German word for “warship” as “battleship”.
