Magazine hit during an 18-inch-gun engagement

The reaction begins with the thought that the same thing may have happened before, followed by surprise as the hit becomes clear. The magazine is then named several times as the part of the ship that was struck. The repeated identification makes this a concise watch point for how abruptly a magazine hit can change a heavy-gun engagement. No ship is identified, the penetration and damage sequence is not described, and the closing phrase after "the lesson of" remains unfinished, so a more detailed technical account is unsupported.
