<HTML>Hope this will help a little
22/9 1914: TheBritish armoured cruiser HMS ABOUKIR was torpedoed by the German submarine U-9, as she patrolled without cruiser protection off the Dutch coast. Suspecting a mine rather than a submarine because there was no indication of any enemy activity, the CRESSY and the HOGUE came to the aid of the survivors, but they too were torpedoed by the same U-boat almost immediately. All three were lost, with just over 800 being saved.
15/10 1914: The British armoured cruiser HAWKE Torpedoed while on patrol duty off East Scottish Coast by German submarine U-9.
