 | | The U-boat was spotted by the mother of modern battleships, HMS Dreadnought, and rammed. |
 | | Lieutenant Otto Hersing, who had drawn first blood in the submarine war by sinking HMS Pathfinder the year before, had led the way in the Mediterranean even while the unrestricted submarine warfare campaign was in full swing against Britain. |
 | | On 27 May, Hersing similarly crept up a second old battleship, HMS Majestic, and after patiently waiting for a chance to attack, sent her to the bottom with a single torpedo as well. |
