    You can see the squat hull shape it has in this shot.

    First battle for both ships. Roberts a class 2 I believe with only a single cannon and a small pump encounters the IJN Nagato a class 6 ship with 5 bb cannons and a large pump. Outgun by far and outmatched the little ship gave the new Captain of this Nagato a good fight.

    Roberts can turn on a dime but so can Nagato and it has a turret that can rotate.

    Roberts is maneuvering tight to starboard however the angle of it's hull sides make it easy for sidemounts to find the mark.

    The end is near for this brave little ship as Nagato stands by to shoot survivors.

    THE END! The HMS Roberts succumbs to her battle damage and with no pump working, the survivors are left to the mercy of the Big Japanese Battleship's guns.
