KM Gnisenau by Randall Wilson

The Gneisenau is shown on the 8th of April, the day before she and her sister ship the Scharnhorst under the command of Vizeadmiral Günther Lütjens, are engaged by the British battle cruiser Renown. In a brief exchange of fire, the Gneisenau is hit by one 15-inch and two 4.5-inch projectiles from the Renown. The 15-inch projectile hits the foretop platform and puts Gneisenau's main fire control out of action, killing five men, including the First Artillery Officer, Commander Hans-Georg von Buchka. The british battle cruiser in turn is hit by two 28cm shells.
