A huge fleet is sailing on the icy sea, and the fleet alone has as many as ten capital warships. In the last month of the thirties, this fleet remained the strongest on the planet in terms of strength.

However, this is a fleet that has just suffered a big defeat, because their ships are all too "old".

The icy sea breeze blew in his face and stabbed his face like a knife.

Standing on the open bridge of the battleship Nelson, looking at the heavy cruiser USS York being towed not far away, Vice Admiral Phillips's heart was like a knife. Although the heavy cruiser York was still floating on the water, its badly damaged hull was so weak that it could sink with a "wrench". On the other aircraft carrier Athletic God, which was heavily damaged, he ate two 500-kilogram bombs and a torpedo, and he was also scarred and seriously wounded. If it hadn't been bombed by German planes, the hangar of the Athletic God would have been empty early, and I am afraid it would have been much more auspicious.

It's just too far to get from here to Scarpa Bay. For a seriously wounded battleship, the road home was by no means easy.

In less than 48 hours, from the early morning of 1 December to the noon of 2 December, the Royal Navy had lost three battle cruisers, three aircraft carriers, four heavy cruisers (the York had not yet sunk), and twelve light cruisers, and more than 10,000 sailors were killed. And that's not counting the losses of two light cruisers and two destroyers that were sunk by the opponent in a game of hide-and-seek with the German fleet in the past half a month. After this battle, the Royal Navy's high-speed fleet was almost completely lost. The consequences of this are: The task of escorting and hunting adversary surface assault ships in the Atlantic Ocean in the future has become much more difficult.

Such a fiasco, the Royal Navy's warship losses and personnel in 48 hours even surpassed the Battle of Jutland during World War I, which can be described as an unprecedented fiasco. Vice Admiral Phillips knew that he had a great responsibility in this great defeat, and standing on the bridge, he wanted to just jump into the sea and die. Now he really has no shame to go back alive

The Judge Advocate General's Office held him accountable, and he was even more shameless in the face of the weeping of the families of the dead sailors.

Just as Lieutenant General Phillips was facing the sea, contemplating whether he was going to jump to his death, his orderly walked up behind him. Sue sù another "bad" news.

"Captain Hawke has died."

In this role reversal war between hunter and prey. Captain Hawke, the only light cruiser Glasgow who proposed to be built "correctly", and his light cruiser Glasgow sank in excess of water after being hit three times by a German JU87C carrier-based aircraft while retreating in the early morning of December 1. Captain Hawke himself was seriously wounded in that bombing. In the end, he died because the rescue failed.

When Lieutenant General Phillips was having a headache about whether he was going to commit suicide to thank the people. He didn't know that the consequences of the crisis brought about by his previous command mistakes were still fermenting. The danger to the fleet he led. After the retreat of the opponent's surface fleet, it did not disappear there.
