No matter which navy of any country or even any world, there is almost always some superstition and a strong belief in luck. And indeed, luck plays an important role in naval battles – during good luck, a few salvos from a battleship can send a shell into the enemy ship's ammunition depot and cause a chain of earth-shattering explosions. In bad luck, a few outdated biplane torpedo bombers can immobilize a battleship's rudder with just one attack, leaving the ship to be battered to death.
General Gorchak's luck is now blazing hot; he has sunk one Albion cruiser and caused a sizable disaster by hitting the enemy ship's upper armor with four salvos.
