Did Axis forces have vendettas against famous Allied warships comparable to the Allied hunt for Bismarck?

That suggests the pursuit of famous enemy warships was not confined to Allied forces. One proposed explanation for the difference in popular memory is that these Axis pursuits received less attention in postwar films.
