"Oh God! How is this possible? We had two hits, but we only did very little damage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Major General Carroll looked like he's seen it.

In his opinion, two shells were hits, and at least the battle cruiser of the German Navy could have suffered a lot of damage. In particular, there was also a shell that hit the main turret of the battlecruiser "Moltke". If you can penetrate the main turret, you will not only be able to destroy the main turret, but you will even be able to deal more damage.

However, the final result was completely unexpected.

"Damn, are the defenses of the German battleships so strong? If this is the case, then there is no way to fight this battle. "Major General Carroll had a very bad feeling in his heart.

In fact, the reason why the shells fired by the battleship "King George V" failed to penetrate the armor of the battlecruiser "Moltke" was of course because the turret armor of the battlecruiser "Moltke" was very thick, and there was also a very important reason because there was a problem with the shells fired by the battleships of the British Navy, the fuses were too sensitive, and they would explode in the event of a collision, which greatly weakened the armor-piercing ability of the shells. After all, for a battleship or battlecruiser with thick armor, if you want to inflict heavy damage on the opponent, you have to break through its armor. But the shells of the British Navy exploded before they could penetrate the armor, so naturally they could not inflict more damage on the other side.

The battle began to become more intense. However, the British Navy was very aggrieved. Their ships are battleships! But they also had the feeling that their own battleships were weakly armored battlecruisers, and the opposing battlecruisers were thickly armored battleships.

This is the consequence of the different shipbuilding ideas of Britain and Germany. The German Navy focused on the defense and survivability of warships. The British Navy, on the other hand, sacrificed defense and strengthened the firepower and speed of its ships. However, in naval warfare, you must first save yourself in order to be able to better kill and injure the enemy. The German Navy also made a breakthrough in firepower and speed when it ensured that its own defense was strong. This made the warships of the German Navy able to completely suppress the warships of the British Navy, and in naval battles, they were naturally able to gain an advantage.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The naval battle became more and more intense, although the British navy had lost the upper hand. However, they still insist on fighting back. The German Navy, on the other hand, hoped to be able to create as many damage or even sink the British Navy's battleships as possible under the condition of dominating the situation, so as to transform the external advantage into a substantial advantage.

"Boom!"

Once again, the battleship 'Daring' was hit, this time, it was the conning tower. A 305-mm shell slammed into the conning tower. Armor up to 280 mm thick was simply unable to withstand shells fired from 50 times the caliber main gun. The end result was that the armor was pierced and the shells exploded in the conning tower.

The violent explosion slaughtered all the officers in the command tower, including the captain. This caused confusion in the command of the battleship 'Daring'.

The battlecruisers "Blucher" and "Seydlitz" seized this opportunity and launched an even more intense artillery bombardment.

Over the next five minutes, the battleship 'Daring' was again hit by a full six shells, two of which were 343 mm shells and four of which were 305 mm shells.

A large hole was blown out of the waterline on the side of the battleship 'Daring', and the sea began to pour into the battleship frantically. In addition, the steering gear at the stern of the ship was also directly blown off, and the sea water poured into the battleship from the fracture.

The ship's superstructure was also destroyed in the explosion, igniting a raging fire.

After being hit many times, the fate of the battleship 'Daring' came straight to the end. For a huge battleship with a displacement of twenty-five thousand tons, it was undoubtedly difficult to be sunk. Of course, if the key point is hit, that's another story.

"General, the 'Daring' has suffered a heavy blow and asks to abandon the ship." The communications officer reported to Major General Carroll.

Major General Carol closed his eyes in pain, did not speak, but nodded.

Before sinking, a considerable part of the sailors on the battleship "Daring" were evacuated to the lifeboat, but there were still many people who did not have time to evacuate in time and sank to the icy bottom of the Atlantic Ocean with the battleship.

The doom of the British Navy did not end with the sinking of the 'Daring'. Just five minutes later, the battleship Centurion was following in the footsteps of the battleship Daring.

In the salvo fired from the battleship Goeben, two shells hit. A shell hit one of the chimneys of the 'Centurion'. The chimney fell down, smashing turret No. 3 and making it impossible to shoot any more.

Another shell directly killed the battleship 'Centurion'. This shell hit the fourth main turret of the battleship 'Centurion' in the stern. The 280 mm thick turret armor looked so weak in front of the 343 mm shells, like papier-mâché, that it was easily penetrated.

What's even worse is that at this moment, there are two 343-mm shells and hundreds of kilograms of propellant in the barrel. After the shells exploded, the shells and propellants were detonated as a result.

The fire spread to the ammunition depot under the gun chamber, and the fire door did not have time to close in time due to a malfunction.

And so, tragedy struck.

Under the scorching heat of the fire, hundreds of 343-mm shells in the ammunition depot were killed.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion sounded on the sea, and the battleship 'Centurion' was lifted directly out of the water in the explosion, and then smashed heavily into the sea.

When the smoke cleared, you could clearly see that the stern part of the battleship 'Centurion' had disappeared, as if it had been bitten by some monster.

The sea frantically poured into the interior of the battleship 'Centurion', causing the battleship to begin to sink. Eventually, the battleship Centurion sank directly into the Atlantic Ocean with its stern facing down and bow facing upward.

After the sinking of the battleships 'Daring' and 'Centurion', the situation became more and more unfavorable for the British Navy. On the battlefield, they only had two battleships left. And the six battlecruisers of the German Navy, almost intact.
