Balkenkreuz uses this opportunity to escape. She is not found but remains in port for the rest of the war; she will be bombed repeatedly and then scuttled before war's end >Indestructible returns to port the next day where she is sunk as a total loss by a submarine. >Princess of Colonialism will survive to go on to do many shore bombardments and will ultimately be scrapped following budget cuts after the war
