War at Sea

The five Duncan class battleships (HMS Albermarle, HMS Cornwallis, HMS Duncan, HMS Exmouth and HMS Russell) leave Scotland with the 3rd Battle Squadron, moving to the south coast. The rest of the squadron returns north in mid-November, but the Duncan class ships remain in the south to carry out an attack on Zeebrugge.
