A Malta 100-ton gun hit could doom Goeben

What if Goeben came within range of Malta's 100-ton guns and the first shot hit?

The panel predicts that damage would slow Goeben enough for British battlecruisers and destroyers to catch and destroy her.

A hit from Malta's 100-ton coastal gun could deprive Goeben of the speed needed to escape. The answer estimates that serious damage might leave her making eighteen knots at best. British battlecruisers approaching the area and destroyers leaving Malta would then have a damaged opponent within reach. The predicted loss follows from that interception, so the coastal shell need not sink Goeben by itself.
