Battleship

The enemy battle-cruisers came up very rapidly, and must have made a speed of at least 26 knots . . . The enemy had separated and formed two groups, the leading one having three, and the other two ships. They were trying to keep at the farthest firing distance . . . The enemy battlecruisers then turned at once to a northerly course to . . . turn on the Blücher . . . Very soon after her engines were damaged another shot caused an explosion and a fire . . . the Blücher was sunk.
