Well, with all due respect to Kraken, it wasn't all that famous...

lol

Hey if it's another day to get presents, I'm all for it. :p

It wasn't the entire British Fleet, it was one Battleship and some destroyers that were providing distant protection for one of those large Artic convoys providing war materiel for the Russian campaign.

Yes but it's still superior numbers.

Yeah, so? Scharnhorst actually had several accompayning destroyers that would have made it even, if the commander of the Scharnhorst hadn't detached them to go back to base earlier.

It doesn't have to be a stunning display of tactics to be an importanat victory for the Royal Navy.

It just has to have an impact on the German Kriegsmarine.

Maybe.

But stunning tactics make it cooler.

For tactical victories I read about Rommel, Drake and Hannibal personally.

That is the ugliest cat I have ever set eyes on.

Mr. Kaant doesn't love kitty?
