January 17, the Prosen heavy cruiser Lyuzov, ten kilometers from the White Sea coast.
Captain Otto Lindemann had been on the bridge until midnight before letting out a long yawn and saying to the executive officer, "I'm going to get some food, you continue the watch."
The executive officer, "Yes."
Lindemann walked out of the bridge and stopped on the walkways on both sides, gazing at the White Sea coast ten kilometers away.
He liked to appreciate the scenery when leaving.
After all, it was written in the Prosen Navy combat manual: It is recommended to spend at least one minute each day admiring the sea vistas to better serve the Empire of Prosen.
Lindemann didn't care what was written in the combat manual, but he did indeed enjoy watching the seascapes.
Sometimes when he was in a good mood, he would even grab some fries from the battleship's kitchen to feed the seagulls circling around the ship.
