Other comments: She was hit by a torpedeo from the british submarine E 38 but not sunk and eventually sunk by a torpedeo in a training exersize in the forth.1921. She has a spectacular forward sloping bow, no guns and bridge gone but armoured conning tower intact and pretty complete bow and stern. Bow definitely lying to port in around 58m but the engine room area was very broken up and the stern was lying slightly to Starboard.
