Aboard the Vindicator captain Seahill spots the KISDF flag and is completely baffled.

Captain Seahill: "W-what the hell! Who the devil are these people? Bring us around, ahead flank away from that ship. And return fire!"

The old battlecruiser turns away from the Admiral Yamamoto and attempts to flee, her 356mm guns firing erratically. But soon the KISDF shells find their marks, and the Vindicator's aft magazine detonates in a tremendous fireball. The stricken ship is split below her aft turrets, and the stern quickly sinks while the bow rears up in the air, then sinks while her forward guns fire a final salvo. A few dozen of her crew manage to escape as she went down, and they now bob on the surface awaiting their fate. Captain Seahill is not among them.
