Default Battleships and hitting th other dude

A question about pre-WWI battleships regarding who should have a better chance of hitting the other.

Both ships effectively have the same bore guns, with a 786 to 890 metres per second.

Ship 1 is stationay
Ship 2 is at 12 knots

Each ship taking a turn at being stationay while the othe ship approached and sailed past.

In each instance the ship travelling came off worse by far.
