Did Lindemann say he would not have his ship shot out from under him?

Did Captain Lindemann actually say, 'I will not have my ship shot out from under me'?

Possibly, and he does appear to have been angry, but the exact phrase cannot be treated as certain.

Lindemann appears to have been annoyed by the delay in returning fire. The familiar quotation is possible, but its exact wording is doubtful. His frustration can be distinguished from certainty about the words he used. The phrase is the version that survived in later accounts.
