(The battleship SMS Bayern sails at flank speed through the English Channel, attempting to break out into the Atlantic. In response, the French Navy sends their own battleship, Bretagne.)

Bayern Captain: Blast! I figured we would be out of the Channel before they sent out ships. Oh well, battle stations! -- Bretagne Captain: There's Bayern, right where she should be. Load the guns, hard to starboard! -- Bayern sailor: Sir, they're turning.

Captain: Match them, train the guns to compensate for foward movement. Ready the torpedoes.

Sailor: Twenty seconds to firing range. -- Bretagne sailor: fifteen seconds until we reach the guns' range.

Bretagne Captain: Fire as soon as we do.

Sailor: In range, firing. -- Bayern Captain: Fire!

(Shells hit Bayern, it returns and hits Bretagne.)

Captain: Fire torpedoes! -- Bretagne Sailor: Torpedoes!

Bretagne Captain: All Engines back full!

Sailor: Back full, aye sir.

(Bretagne evades the torpedoes and fires her guns.)

Captain: Again, all ahead flank and turn to starboard. -- Bayern Captain: Set cour-

(A broadside rakes Bayern, knocking out her rear turrets. She lists heavily to starboard.)

Captain: Fire once more.

(Bayerns surviving foward turrets roar, smashing the stern of Bretagne.)

Captain: Hard to port, get us outta here! -- Bretagne Captain: Why aren't we following it!?

Sailor: The rudders not responding, we're locked to starboard.

Captain: the aft turrets?

Sailor: reloading.

Captain: Blast! We've lost her.
