One German destroyer at Narvik received concentrated fire from Tribal-class destroyers and Warspite's 15-inch guns. It effectively ceased to exist as a coherent hull within seconds. A later comment describes the ship as erased rather than sunk, and the reply agrees that no destroyer was designed to withstand so much firepower. The exchange conveys the mismatch between a destroyer's construction and concentrated capital-ship gunfire.

Why one destroyer at Narvik effectively ceased to exist
Concentrated fire from Tribal-class destroyers and 15-inch guns went far beyond disabling one German destroyer at Narvik.
