Thanks for reminding us about the era of dreadnaughts SGT John " Mac " McConnell. The Great War was an era when dreadnaughts ruled the seas. By the beginning of WWII the aircraft carrier would begin to take dominance and by its end it was dominant on the surface as submarines were dominant against unescorted convoys.
In any event the sinking of HMS Audacious on October 27 1914 by German mine which had been laid less than a week earlier as the squadron abandoned it believing a submarine had torpedoed the HMS Audacious.
The fact that the German vessel the SMS Berlin has been able to enter the Firth of Clyde indicated a lapse in security which resulted in the sinking of the HMS Audacious.
