Description
"After performing a successful night-time attack on the south American town of Colón and the Atlantic-side Panama canal locks at Gatún, the German "super"
battleship Jager attempted to sneak back towards the Atlantic to continue her campaign against allied supply lines. However her attack on the Panama canal had gained her the attention of every American surface ship, submarine and plane in the Caribbean sea. Two days after her attack, she was spotted by scout plane sailing north towards Jamaica and was assumed to simply be attempting to break out of the Caribbean sea as quickly as possible. However this was a ploy by her captain; hoping to draw the American forces north, likely to attempt to blockade her between Cuba and Dominica republic. Instead, she'd sail east past Puerto Rico and escape back to Atlantic waters there.

Sure enough, as she sailed east past Puerto Rico and then north between the Virgin Islands and Anguilla Island, she didn't encounter a single American vessel. Unfortunately their luck ran out, 115 miles north of Anguilla Island when she was spotted by an American sub, which subsequently launched 3 torpedoes at her: the first missed, but the second and third struck her in her bulge armor and port propeller respectively. No longer able to reach her top speed and now with a 7 degree list to port, the Jager pressed on, all the while being shadowed by the sub.

3 days later the American fleet converged on the ship and in the subsequent fight, the Jager managed to sink three cruisers, two frigates, two destroyers, and shot down over 47 fighters and dive-bomber planes. However the Americas had her out-numbered and out-gunned, and as her superstructer was gradually being destroyed by the endless barrage of incoming shells and torpedoes, eventually a shell managed to penetrate her citadel, under C turret (second from aft) and detonated the ammunition store. The resulting explosion blew the ship in two, with the stern section sinking only 2 minutes later while the rest of the ship remained afloat for another 12 minutes, during which another three torpedoes struck the ship on both sides. with it's secondary guns continuing to fire, the ship began to roll over onto her port side before finally slipping beneath the waves."

(firstly, it's completely fiction. Second, I wrote this on the fly as I uploaded this image. So please take any inconsistencies or general poor writing or whatever with a pinch of salt )

(also the "symbols" can be easily removed if people would prefer.

EDIT) updated the design slightly and added the German vessels Bismarck and Scharnhorst for comparison.
