Description
The SMS Emden was a WWI veteran and used mostly for crew training, teaching raw recruits the art of firing the big-bore guns.
The first warning that Danish waters weren't as safe as the Oberkommando thought was when a lookout reported three strange wing-less aircraft coming towards them.
Before anyone onboard the Emden knew what was happening four rockets hit midships, seconds later a fifth rocket blew up the forward magazines, breaking the cruiser in two.
The Emden's captain managed to get a distress call off, including the sighting of an aircraft carrier off the coast of Denmark.
