The Bismarck was hit by 2 aerial torpedoes and 3 surface torpedoes.

At least yes. I did once read that Bismarck might have been hit by a similar number of torpedoes as Yamato/Musahi.

QuoteSince I don't have a SS file of Bismarck

You should, it's one of the examples on their site (http://www.springsharp.com/info.htm).
Does that change anything?

Given 40,064 light displacement and 36,225 kg flotation as stated in the SS file, Bismarck's DP comes out to 1,726.1.
It takes 9 surface torpedoes to sink and using Miketr's suggested warheads, ~9.7 hits to sink.

My method of hitpoint calculation makes ships more robust in general.
