And lo and behold

Ahoy there shipmates. Twas a real creepy night out there on the old sandbanks and fogs of the Solent, when we passed out into the Channel and found our way across to the Straits of Brittany, but there she was, loomed right out of the fog, all eerie and terrible to behold - a terrible beauty borne from old German naval yards - The USS Dusseldorf. A cruel captain beating and whipping his boys and his men for the sheer sake of it all, till they submitted to his iron will. The old Captain Fritz Dollinger was no softie, no dandy, and no gentleman's pleasure. Alas for his men and his gunnery.
