Hi Tim,
The new story is ready now. But first of all - please replace photo wwi28
with new9, which looks better - I hope so (same source but different
processing). Again - I've no idea about good title, maybe "Destructive
accuracy" or "Fortress" ?

This is another imaginary tale. Actually impossible - 1918’ Baden
with 1916’ Derfflinger (both are improved WSW 1/700 resin kits +
scratchbuilt
parts) ! - but, guys... give the reins to the imagination...

01-wwi15, 
02-wwi16   wwi10 - Hochseeflotte newest and most powerful battleship - SMS
Baden, built by Schichau shipyard in Gdansk - photographed during final trials.

03-wwi49 - Baden anchored near the Old Town of Gdansk.
04-wwi45 - Baden on her way to the Bay of Gdansk. She’ll join the fleet pretty soon.

05-wwi11 - Admiral’s motorboat delivers secret orders. The new target - fortress and harbor on the east coast of the Baltic Sea.

06-wwi40, 
07-wwi41 - Famous flagship, battlecruiser Derfflinger entering the anchorage after deployment to the Baltic Sea.

08-wwi9 - Coal loading (bunkering). Spot the tug and coal barge.

09-new9, 
10-wwi7 - Blasts, shells, coal, water and food - an essential supply before any action. This photographs constitute a proof of lighters, barges and other auxiliary vessels usefulness.

11-wwi8 - Staff ship (actually mobilized excursion boat) takes the admiral and his staff to harbor. It’s time to start the final conference.

12-wwi19, 
13-wwi34 - Everything is clear now, officers may go back to their ships. Spot the admiral (marked with an arrow).


14-wwi24, 
15-wwi24a, 
16-wwi25, 
17-wwi25a - Admiral’s arrival. The crew is truly pleased.

18-wwi51 - Unexpected complication - Zeppelin disaster. The whole action should be rescheduled. Luckily the crew has been saved.

19-wwi65 - Valuable reinforcement - brand new seaplane FF 33 L.

20-wwi31 - Guys, time to go. Seaplane takeoff.

21-wwi39 - Derfflinger leaves the anchorage with Baden in the background, astern.

22-wwi17 - Baden raising steam. She follows the flagship.

23-wwi27 - Danger and beauty ? Both great warships together.

24-wwi55 - New airship (Zeppelin L 30) above great torpedo boats (destroyers).

25-wwi56 - Baden firing at the fortress.

26-wwi57 - Derfflinger photographed from the Baden in the act of firing salvo at the fortress.

27-wwi63 - Destructive accuracy. Burning ruins, ashes - and nothing more. Hard to believe, but it was a very powerful fortress yesterday.

28-wwi53 - It’s over. We may go home.
