Call yourself a diver, James? Can you go this deep?

1418 brave souls lost, three survivors. I pay tribute to each man who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Oh & give their mate a clip under the ear for being a dozy ****.

A 15" shell is a massive piece of explosive gear to fall on you from up there^^^.
EDITED: Apparently she was up-armoured after Jutland to various areas so may be not timbered after this.

I bet the 3 survivor's ears were still ringing years after.

Thanks Ian, I hadn't seen that previously nor did I realise that it even existed.

A case of "Different times, Different thinking" I guess.

In many ways it seems like it was a similar event to the loss of HMAS Sydney with crew off the WA Coast off Geraldton in WW2 with no one to tell of those events except the German version.
