''What ship was it? Was it one of their mighty panzerschiffs? Was it an airrcfat carrier with hoards of bombers? Was it a giant submarine with deadly torpedoes??!!!''

''Actually, none of them. It turns out just to be an old escort cruiser: the Chikuma, transferred from the UMG. She was small, lihgtly armed and no match for the Hamburg. She was however faster, thanks to new engines, and had drone aircraft. The commander launched the drones, armed with bombs and rockets to kamikaze into the Hamburg, while the Chikuma escaped, into a harbour, laying a smoke screen of her own. ''
