Bismarck's value as a captured prize

How much might Bismarck have been worth as a captured prize?

Her material value would depend on whether she was taken intact or as a wreck, while the British government might inflate the declared value for propaganda.

Bismarck's condition at capture would determine much of her material value. A ship seized intact early in the operation could be made ready for use with much less effort than the wrecked vessel left after the final battle. The Royal Navy and British government could still declare a value above her practical worth for propaganda purposes. The exchange gives no monetary estimate, because both the condition of the prize and the purpose of the valuation would matter.
