	SMS Goeben - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SMS Goeben was a Moltke-class battlecruiser of the Kaiserliche Marine (German Navy), launched in 1911 and named after the Franco-Prussian War general August von Goeben.
		In 1912 the German navy's Mittelmeerdivision (Mediterranean Division) comprised Goeben and the light cruiser SMS Breslau under the command of Rear Admiral Wilhelm Souchon.
		Goeben and Breslau passed through the mine barriers guarding the straits and were conducted to Constantinople where on 16 August they became ships of the Turkish navy in a diplomatic manoeuvre that assisted in bringing the Ottoman Empire into the war on the side of the Central Powers.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Pursuit of Goeben and Breslau
		The pursuit of Goeben and Breslau was a naval action that occurred in the Mediterranean Sea at the outbreak of the First World War when elements of the British Mediterranean Fleet attempted to intercept the German Mittelmeerdivision comprising the battlecruiser SMS Goeben and the light cruiser SMS Breslau.
		Breslau attempted to harass Gloucester into breaking off — Souchon had a collier waiting off the coast of Greece and needed to shake his pursuer before he could rendezvous.
		On 16 August, having reached Constantinople, Goeben and Breslau were transfered to the Turkish Navy, becoming respectively the Yavuz Sultan Selim and the Medilli, though they retained their German crews with Souchon still in command.

	SUPERIOR FORCE Chapter 19
		It is understood that the sortie of Goeben and Breslau came as a surprise to the Allies, though it would seem that, had the messages made at the time been intimately studied, an indication that a movement was on foot would have been clear and that the urgency was considerable, obvious.
		Moreover the fact that the midday reports were to be sent to Goeben during the time that she was away from her base coaling, might have suggested that the outside situation was important to her.
		Breslau was ordered on ahead to prevent the escape of any enemy vessels from Kusu Bay, four miles north of Kephalo.

		In OTL she (with Breslau as escort) passed HMS Indomitable and HMS Indefatigable just before war was declared.
		What if, because of her slower speed, war is declared just as the two sides sight each other.
		Anyway, methinks the Breslau goes down hard, the Goeben will probably heavily damage one of the battlecruisers, but eventually sucummb to the sheer weight of fire.
