flagship heels over
Phalanx cannons
spit fire
Fearless
Mirage trails smoke
flies lower
toward horizon
San Carlos
trapped fleet
Mirages shock wave
release ship killing
Exocet!
Klaxons sound
Exeter bridge shattered
runs aground
Ardent bombed
and smoking
Yarmouth transfers crew
Sheffield gone
like Hood
Uganda
white ghosts patrol
rows
of shuddering bunks
a cargo
of nightmares
on a silent sea...
