Leaving aside the question of whether Tirpitz could, should or might have accompanied Bismarck.
What if Tirpitz accompanies Bismarck and Prinz Eugen on a part of their journey, maybe into the Skagerrak. Tovey is led to believe that both Battleships will attempt to break out.
What will Toveys dispositions be in such a timeline - in the OTL he divided his forces to cover the Iceland Faroes Passage and The Denmark Strait, he can't do that and have gun superiority as in the OTL.
Does he cover the most likely breakout route - The Iceland Faroes Passage - so allowing Bismarck and Prinz Eugen a clear passage into the Atlantic ?.
He likely still has scouting forces in the The Denmark Strait, will the British Destroyers launch suicidal attacks, attempting to ram Bismarck.
