Comments by "Big Blue" (@bigblue6917) on "Titanic's Sister Is Sunk in WW1 - RMS Britannic" video.
Violet Jessop and Arthur John Priest were also aboard the Olympic on her fifth voyage on 20 September 1911 when she turned across the bow of the British cruiser HMS Hawke. Hawke had a ram bow which was designed to sink enemy warships by ramming. So when she collided with Olympic's starboard side near the stern she tore two large holes in Olympic's hull, above and below the waterline, resulting in the flooding of two of her watertight compartments and a twisted propeller shaft. In command of the Olympic that day was captain Edward John Smith who was captain of the Titanic.
