Reconciling the battle's competing clocks

The reconstructed sequence follows GMT rather than reproducing every ship's local clock. Some records use a plus-two offset while the applicable time zone suggests plus three, and different accounts do not line up cleanly. The order of events is therefore more reliable than converting every reported minute into one supposedly exact chronology. This choice matters when later sources disagree over sightings and chase reports. The GMT sequence keeps those uncertainties visible without presenting disputed clock conversions as exact.
