		The Norfolk, was still at 24,000 meters from the German ships, the Suffolk was at 29,000 meters and both were still not joining in the engagement (34).

		By doing this it appears to have confirmed that the torpedo origin was assumed to have been the Hood (55) and that the torpedoes were at their maximum range.

		The conclusion that we have come to is that these phenomena we actually visible in both places almost simultaneously, and the fact that many witnesses state that the whole of the after part of the ship blew up does not conflict in any way with this conclusion.
		The evidence supplied by Captain Carslake as regards the noise of the explosion which sank HMS Invincible in 1916, is of interest in this connection and gives an indication of the totally different impression that a single occurrence may have on the minds of different witnesses in like circumstances.
		It must be emphasised however, that the efficiency of the flashtight arrangements in the turret is dependent on the structure itself not being wrecked or distorted by bomb blast.
