"The Bismark and the Prinz Eugen smashed her to bits, lads, no contest! Also sent the Prince of Wales scurrying away with her bum spanked!"

"Pass the word. Never mind wolves, my friends, we have a charging rhino out in the North Atlantic!"

Huge cheers as the news was passed.

Me Willi and Christian looked at the map again.

She may have just boldly struck out in the wide gap between Scotland and Iceland. God knows we've had to do it often enough, but we're no bloody great battleship.

Or maybe she was crafty and went through the Denmark Straits, the northern side of Iceland?

Either way the Northern Fleet managed to find her, and she gave battle and won!

That has really thrown the cat among the pigeons.

We'e still a couple of whole grid blocks from where Willi and I think she might be. But well placed for any eventuality, including the sailing of the Gibraltar Fleet. Wouldn't that be something if I could get Otto his Ark Royal!

Something I didn't read out, though. Bismark took a hit in her oil bunkers, and we are already hearing repeated orders for auxilliary fuelling ships (and we have precious few of those) to report in and make their way to the North East Atlantic...
