I was just watching a custom music-video for "QOTSA - First It Giveth" and it had Hitler at the launch of the Bismarck, and even they smashed a bottle of wine or champagne against it before launch.

Very much doubt it was the Germans. Apart from a brief dalliance with the oceans and naval power... they have no real history of ocean going or exploring whatsoever as they were land-lubbers for hundreds of years... compared to the seafaring ways of the British (none of us are more than 125 miles away from the ocean), the Spanish, the Portugese, the Dutch... and somewhat the French. Although going back centuries I guess the ships were wooden and they didn't smash bottle against it back then. Hmm.
