Sabaton?! I'm guessing Akagi-chan wants to put on "Metal Machine".
More likely "Bismarck", the Sabaton song about how awesome the Bismarck was.
Which actually kinda makes me wonder how AL Bismarck feels about the real world Bismarck being male, making her one of the only known genderswapped characters.

I assume you mean the ship, and not the person she was named after, seeing as dozens of ships were named after real life males. I only know of one person that insisted on referring to the KMS Bismarck as a male. Everyone else uses female pronouns like any other ship.

I am referring to the ship, the ship correctly referred to with male pronouns.
I'm pretty sure only the captain referred to it with male pronouns.
Correct, he said it once and then the crew only did so in his presence. Otherwise the ship was refereed to with either gender neutral or female pronouns by her crew.

She can't be that since Bismarck is a personification of the ship and not the chancellor she was named after.

Except "she" is the correct pronoun for Bismark, despite what that idiot of a captain thought. He believed that Bismarck should be considered male because she was the most powerful battleship Germany ever made despite the fact that there were at least EIGHT battleships in the world that had more firepower, and most of those also had radar that didn't get ruined when the rifles fired.

So no, Bismarck is a she, not a he.
Bismarck, like every ship ever built anywhere, is an inanimate object. It is not a he, nor a she, it is a THING.

Ships have always historically used female pronouns and that trend continues today. Try having this argument with real sailors and see how much they care.

Which would only show how some people are stupidly attached to inanimate objects as if they were alive.
We play a game that makes characters out of these ships because it's fun and yostar can relatively easily write amusing or interesting scenarios based on their service histories.

Considering that ship is the only thing between you and a watery grave, it made sense for sailors to treat their vessels with the utmost respect. Treating them like a lady one might say.
That tradition continues even today, with very few languages making the exception. Ships are either women or gendered after who they're named after.
