This Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts battle shows the escorts pursuing a surface raider while the merchant ships remain exposed. The raider reaches the convoy and moves rapidly from target to target. Its 6-inch guns inflict losses faster than the escorts can intervene. The result illustrates why a light cruiser loose among merchant shipping could pose such a serious threat to maritime trade.
