Officer: "Sir, the Prinz Eugen is taking heavy damage, they're requesting permission to warp out."

Gruber: "Granted, tell them to return to Kiel for repairs."

The Prinz Eugen, starting to list heavily and significantly slower due to damage, fires a final salvo at the destroyers before warping away. The Nassau is now fighting the Mexican fleet alone, though she is still giving a good account of herself. Her secondary 28cm triple guns are firing on the destroyers, causing moderate damage, while the main 53cm guns and coaxial 25cm rapid fire cannons continue to fire on the battleships and arsenal ship. The Nassau is beginning to show more signs of damage though, she has developed a 5° list to starboard, and some of her guns are inoperable. Meanwhile an oil leak from forward tanks is leaving a noticeable trail, some of which has ignited from the gunfire. Several fires burn on Nassau's deck, and some of her targeting equipment has been disabled.

Officer: "Sir, the Prinz Eugen has reported our predicament to the High Command. Reinforcements are inbound soon."

Gruber: "Tell them to send rescue ships, there's men in the water from the Rommel."

The lone battleship continues to fight on, though she appears to be slowly succumbing to enemy fire....
