OOC: I was hoping to keep this surface only if possible. But, this does give the Nassau a break so...

IC: The Nassau's guns fall silent as the Blitz class drops out of warp. With some of the heat taken off of his ship, captain Hans Gruber can focus on keeping his ship afloat.

Captain Gruber: "Damage report, all departments!"

Officer 1: "Engineering reports forward boilers flooded, steam and pressure is reduced. Turbine rooms three, and five are flooded, and those engines stopped. Turbine rooms two, and four are making reduced revolutions due to low steam pressure. Primary steering chambers report moderate flooding, but are still operational, water levels are holding. Several fuel tanks forward are also leaking oil, and several hundred tons of oil are unavailable at this time sir."

Officer 2: "Around half our main guns have been disabled, but the flash interlocks have prevented magazine damage. Secondary batteries are damaged, but functional. Main fire control is damaged, but the aft station is still operational sir."

Officer 3: "We have heavy flooding on the starboard side, and the ship has taken on an estimated 300,000 tons of water from battle damage and counter flooding. We have counter flooded some compartments, but she still has a list of 14°. If we counter flood any more however, we might make the ship too unseaworthy, and we'd risk losing her in a storm. We also have several fires burning on deck, which have rendered some AA stations unserviceable, and are hampering damage control efforts."

Captain Gruber: "Have as many men as possible work on containing flooding, and controlling that fire! And have engineering look in to getting more boilers back in operation."
