@mcduck5 While PoW's armour did function well during the gun duel, with the condition of her malfunctioning main weapons, any continued engagement of the Germans at Denmark Strait would likely have not ended well for her. PoW only managed to fire ~65% of the main calibre rounds she could have fired if her main guns had been functioning correctly, also during the engagement, BOTH of her 4 gun turrets jammed in their respective barbettes for a period of time.

@CorePathway What tends to be the sentence of a court martial passed down after an investigation of a internal service matter on a naval captain is to be "relieved of command" which happens more than you may imagine. Last year the captain of the US nuclear powered sub USS Connecticut was "relieved of command" after the sub collided with an outcrop of rock in the south China sea. If the offence is even more serious, or liable to bring the service involved into disrepute, the person concerned may be "cashiered" which basically means getting "kicked out of the service". I'm no expert but I'm sure someone will eventually follow up with a fuller more accurate set of details.

@ZeldaTheSwordsman Exactly. what all the wehraboos choose to ignore is that PoW was again comfortably shadowing Bismarck within 30 minutes of her withdrawal from battle, and after the remedial work you mentioned engaged in a further two fruitless gun duels with her.
