It is improbable that RN destroyer crews would have recognized an enemy admiral (whom they have never seen or heard of before) in the water, in darkness, in turbulent seas. Considering the ferocity of the battle and the expenditure of ordnance against Scharnhorst it is likely that more than half of her crew were dead or wounded, especially bridge personnel, at the time of sinking.--Gamahler 22:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- You are probably right, but maybe they saw his admiral's sleeve rings in the water when they were fishing out survivers at close quarters?Cosal 02:41, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
