Part 5
14th October 1939
With Belfast picking up the crew of Pegasus and the crew who remained on Royal Oak doing damage control are evacuated, Rear Admiral Henry Blargrove on Belfasts bridge receives word that the fires are out but the Royal Oak is too severely damaged and Pegasus is too damaged to be saved.
With both crews either in life boats or on Belfast, The light cruiser returns to her berth where the crews of Royal Oak and Pegasus are taken off. Belfast heads for U-47 to take the crew prisoner. Belfast managed to recover most of the crew but some have succumbed to severe hypothermia. Prein is plucked from the water but is suffering from shock.
A brave Scotsman manages to make it on board the U-boat and grabs the enigma code machine and the code books before the U-47 sinks underneath the cold waters of Scapa flow.
