Icon14 How to 'get the bulge' on your enemy:use of 'torpedo bulge' 101!

^The answer to Royal Sovereign class Predreadnoughts: HMS REVENGE later renamed: HMS REDOUBTABLE: The only one of her class to actually fire at Germans on the WWI Belgian coast; She had been refitted with 'torpedo bulges' in 1915 following two 8' damage hits in 1914...the first ship to be fitted with them operationally! <Redoubtable bombarding the Flemish coast in 1915. She has a deliberately induced list to increase the range of her guns. On 7 September 1915, she returned to combat, joining the gunboats Bustard and Excellent in bombarding German barracks and gun positions at Westende, inflicting much damage on the Germans. One of her anti-torpedo bulges was deliberately flooded to give her a list that would increase the range of her guns. (now that's an "operational" bulge BBY) The ship was hit by a pair of 6-inch (152-mm) shells during the action. Redoubtable underwent another refit from October to December 1915 but was not re-commisioned. (Old West lingo: Got the bulge ~ have the advantage. "We'll get the bulge on him, and take his gun away.")
