Princess Royal POV

The moment that defines the battle was the sinking of HMS lions a sad story, a first combat deployment that resulted in her being sunk by the German battlecruiser Graf Spee.

When the shell struck Sunk HMS lion many Albion sailors have made claims to have heard the cry of HMS Princess Royal as Lion sank beneath the wave with all men on board.

'No' she cry out as she watched her sister sunk beneath the wave by a shell of the copy of Kongou ( I still don't know how you did the squiggly stuff for Kongou HOW???).

Maybe it was denial or sadness no matter how hard she cried no Matter how the others in the battleline tried to comfort her. She can't let this go her sister was sunk by the German like she seem to always remember the last few moment of Lion before being sunk by Graf Spee.

As tears roll down her face her sailor filled with vengeance for HMS Lion fires back with precision hitting one of the light cruisers with luck or not another shall go down with HMS lion.

POV Graf Spee
As the thunder of the British gun roared back the celebration was cut to the bridge officer to even the gunnery officer all pray for the shell to miss her but it didn't by pure luck as a salvo from invincible hit just behind her. She wa s lucky but the other did not have her luck.

As Mainz was struck by a vengeful shell from the Princess Royal.

'Mainz are you ok I need a report' Graf Spee yell in the radio as the celebration have been cut short by the ungodly sound that is the British gun but she felt safe as the first salvo missed right but she was proven wrong as a shell struck Mainz.

'I'm fine , Fran Graff Spee, the shell had overpenetrated my superstructure,' reported Mainz as the bridge crew panicked to get a status report on the ship.

As the capitan of Graf Spee order the Mainz to retreat as there is too much of a risk for her to be sunk. And right now German can't afford new ship as raw material are being routed to the army for war production. 'Graf Spee to Mainz move out of battleline regrouped with Hipper battleground 20 click out over'

And there was the reply 'Jä commandant' as Mainz moved out of the battleline.

With vengeance Graf Spee fire back scoring a hit on HMS invincible knocking out her first turret.

POV PRINCESS ROYAL

hit her crew scream in happiness as her shell hit the SMS Mainz but as she start to celebrate the roar of Kongou, no Graf Spee gun fire back and the British battleline pray for a disaster not to happen again.

Now she made up her mind Kongou is no longer there; she had been replaced by the German spirit Graf Spee and she would sink her to honor Kongou and to bring peace to her sister. With guilt no longer on her mind she prepares to fire again.

But it suddenly Invincible scream in terror as a shell from the German penetrated her ground turret knocking it out it was pure luck that it did not detonated her magazine but a shell from one the the jerry light cruiser penetrate and detonate one of the destroyer magazine sinking her in a fiery death.

POV admiral Hipper

He knew the Brit would try something like this sooner or later that why he dispatch Graf Spee to intercept the Brit but he didn't account for her being out number 5 to 1 that is an odd he didn't like he just hope she live long enough for him to bring reinforcement.

"Capitan, how far are we out'

'18 click sir Fran Hipper' reply the captain
