The unsinkable lady of the North Sea.

Chapter 12

21 February 1915
Wilhelmshaven
Dry dock

The 2 battle of Heligoland Bligh was a disaster for many ships that were involved in the battle had to be dry dock and rapid for months on end, that include the infamous Graf Spee the only ship to have sunk her counterparts in the war. Inflexible, lion, tiger all had been sunk by the Graf Spee: the invincible ship now sits in dry dock awaiting repair.

For 3 month she was repaired, part replaced and recrew she was the unsinkable Battlecruiser of the German navy, hated by the British and beloved's by the public one of the few ships to have earned the hate of the British navy the unsinkable Spee that what the New paper wrote.

While she was in Drydock she slept peacefully for once since the start of the war that took so many away her sister Seydlitz, her mother Von de tan, and Molke. The war breaks family apart; the first scouting fleet was reduced to a shell of its former seft from 6 battlecruisers reduced to e operational ship with Hindenburg coming in some time in the next few months.

Sitting peacefully on her drydock was Graf Spee as such for the last 3 month as workers rushed to repair her the pride of the fleet into service again and now it her lunch day the repair had been finished and the unsinkable ship set sail again.

It was a glorious celebration from the public press when the Kaiser was there, but none stood out like Erich Raiden, the new captain of the ship, standing out there watching the unsinkable lady accept her new crew as he walked up the stairs to board her hall.

As Graf Spee watches her new captain walk up the stairs into her newly repaired deck she thought it looked like he had a long career ahead of him. She smiles as she reminisces about the memories when her family was still together.

As she sailed into battlecruiser row it felt more empty only 3 battlecruisers were there not 7 it felt lonely for once the newest member to the family was Lützow commissioned last year but was pulled to reinforce the Baltic fleet missing the battle of Heligoland Bight.

Against 8 of the British one they were outnumbered and out gun but as order came in the raiding of the Atlantic were to take place unluckily Graf Spee was chosen the fastest of them and the only one to have a big enough gun to sink the Enemy dreadnoughts.

But it hasn't started yet this was her day as she thought back to her sister the last few word she have that she didn't heard but she was snap out of her thoughts as she was attack by the artillery shell that was Lützow.

"It's nice to meet you again sister," said Lützow, still hugging her like an overprotective older sister, but there was a problem: she was supposed to be the bigger sister.

"Air.." Graf Spee grasped out trying to get air into her lung.

"Lützow, your making her faint" concenly said Derfflinger as she distanced herself from them.

"Ah, I'm sooo sorry" said Lützow as she backed away.

As Graf Spee fell down onto the floor gasping for air she felt a hand on her shoulder showing a concern to Derfflinger she had changed from the cheerful little sister to a mature one. The battle was 3 month ago but the scar still didn't heal the death of 3 family members. It was a wound that would heal over time but not now she didn't want any more to be taken away from her.

(I'm sorry I suck at dialogue)

As the day went by and order have been received though they spent time together as sister it was not the same the many thing was missing her sister was one most battle had been fought with light cruiser and destroyed as the battleship lick their wounds and prepare themselves seft for the next deciding battle.
