SAGA OF NAVAL WARFARE OFF NORWAY'S COAST
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"
LONDON, APRIL 15 (UP)—IT IS OFFI- CIALLY ANNOUNCED BY THE BRITISH ADMIRALTY THAT THE 10,000-TON GERMAN "POCKET BATTLESHIP” ADMIRAL SCHEER WAS TORPEDOED ON THURSDAY.
The Admiralty announcement does not reveal the fate of the German ship.
It states, however, that she was struck by more than one torpedo.
The Admiral Scheer is a sister-ship of the Admiral Graf Spec, which was scuttled off Montevideo after the Battle of the Plate, and is believed to be the only remaining ship of her type in the German Navy, since the British authorities previously claimed that one of the "pocket battleships" had been destroyed in previous naval and serial action.
