Flash! HMS Rodney Lost with All Hands

[Brag]

Berlin. The Oberkomando des Kriegsmarine announced in a dispatch that the British Battleship Rodney was torpedoed by a U-Boat and sent to the bottom in less than two minutes.

BDU stated that U-46, under the command of Oberleutnant Udo Bucher sank the mighty battleship Rodney. This is Bucher's second patrol. In the previous patrol in October, Bucher sank the Battleship Revenge. The U-46 with its frog emblem has earned its sobriquet of Panzershiff-buster.

London 08 December 1940.
The British Admiralty confirmed that the battleship HMS Rodney was lost with all hands.

Chamberlain becomes ill after the news.

Awesome!

Wondering if you could give me tips on where to locate "Named" ships like this. The community manual lists them in ports but I was wondering if encountering ships like the Rodney is pure chance in sea or do you have to wait for scripted campaign events to locate them?

Welcome aboard, Canuc.

My two encounters with battleships were stricktly by chance. In Gwix they do have scripted campaigns.

Nice work Brag :up:

So far I've only got me a Revenge...

By the way, why McMillan? Am I thinking of the wrong McMillan? EDIT: Nice edit Brag, good pics and quick name change for Britsh PM!

Oh yes and welcome Canuckboat!

playing for a while now... maybe 30 patrols in all on type VII and IX... raiding port, sneaking on scripted event path, etc... never saw any battleship :shifty: nor any carier :damn:
Fiji class is the larger warship I saw (exept for auxiliary cruiser but they re not real warship) :down:
