OOC: this lack of reaction by American forces is, well, shocking. Like, nobody has done anything more than put bases on alert and scramble a few planes. No force has been sent to intercept the Nassau, and she's attacking at leisure. Please, someone respond! Anyways, to give you a little nudge, more sinkings!

IC: A civilian cruise ship is sailing through the night off the coast of Florida. On the radar, the large return consisted with a large ship has been blinking in and out of range. Then, a transmission crackles through the radio in a heavy German accent: "Attention civilian cruise ship, this ist captain Hans Gruber of the battleship KMS Nassau. You have thirty minuets to evacuate your ship, then I shall open fire and sink your vessel. You will be able to radio your position to allow rescue vessels to retrieve you. This is not a joke, and to illustrate this, a shot shall land across your bows. Your thirty minuets begins, now."

A lone 53 cm shell then splashes down in front of the cruise ship, startling some passengers who see it. The captain sends a mayday call stating that he is abandoning ship, and that a German battleship will scuttle his ship in 30 minuets. The passengers are all evacuated in a surprisingly clam manner, and after the 30 minuets are up, the Nassau approaches the now empty ship. The Nassau opens fire with her 28cm guns, sending the huge passenger ship to the seabed. The ship then steams off, with a message to shore confirming the location of the stranded passengers and crew.

OOC: Even though PANZER represents evil and word domination goals and all that, they can still have decent human beings in their ranks. Captain Gruber is a man of honor, who believes in avoiding unnecessary civilian casualties. Hence, giving the ship time to evacuate, or not sinking rescue vessels in an earlier post. He will still be ruthless and efficient in battle, so don't expect an easy fight with him however.
