Q turret damage and the call for more armour

A Q turret incident prompts a call for more armour after a ship-design discussion about budget competition between the Kaiserliche Marine and the German Army.

Notes

In the opening ship-design discussion, the proposed budget fight pits the Kaiserliche Marine against the German Army. The navy is expected to lose that contest. The Q turret incident then draws a startled reaction: spectacular, but unwelcome. The immediate recommendation is to put more armour on the turrets in future. A closing remark expresses surprise at the ship's apparent survival.
