War at Sea

Cruisers HMS Undaunted, HMS Cleopatra and HMS Aurora forms part of the force that covers the seaplane raid on the Zeppelin base at Hoyer (or Sylt).

The Undaunted is damaged in a collision with the Cleopatra during the return trip. The German High Seas fleet begins a chase, and Jellicoe detaches the Queen Elizabeth class battleships to protect her, but a battle is avoided when the Germans turn back.
