I`ve sent out the old pre-dreads to disrupt the constant shelling of Flanders from the British Monitors.

Approaching through the night

The next morning

Detaching 2 DDs for investigating smoke on the horizon. It was a steamer transporting contraband, so it was seized.

RECON from Zeppelins reported Monitors NE of Zeebrügge. The TF began giving chase. Late in the afternoon, visual contact was made. As the escorts of the Monitors had obviously ran away, the escorting CLs and DDs were ordered out of harms way.

At dawn, one of the Monitors is getting hit and falling back. The end was quick and bloody.

As the old gals were very exposed to the risk of faster and overwhelming forces, it was decided not to chase the other Monitors at all costs but to retreat. All ships came BTB unharmed.
