Yep. Je had er nog bij kunnen vertellen dat ze binnen een uur alle drie waren gezonken. Maar dit heb je ook al knap opgezocht. Internet of boek?

The illustrated history of the submarine schreef:Shortly after dawn on 22 September the three antiquated cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy were moving slowly, in a straight line, some twenty miles off the Dutch coast. U9, an old pre-diesel U-boat which had been forced to turn back from the initial foray with engine trouble, lay directly in their path.
This was pure accident because Lieutenant Otto Weddigen's U-boat was well off course as a result of a faulty gyrocompass. Weddigen had been forced to spend the previous night on the bottom, and had spotted the cruisers in the distance after bringing U9 back to the surface in order to recharge het batteries. For the British cruisers it was the most unfortunate of accidents. Oblivious to any danger they came straight on, abreast two miles apart. At 6.20 the Aboukir, which was in the centre, was hit on the starboard side from a range of 500 yards. The Force of the blow stopped her almost in her tracks, and she began to list heavily. Thinking that the Aboukir had struck a mine, the other ships moved in to the rescue. Both lowered boats and began picking up survivors as the Aboukir began to roll over and sink. At 6.55 tremendous explosions rocked the Hogue as two torpedoes found their mark.
U9 was now breaking surface very close to her second victim and in vain the Houge fired round after round at her.. By 7.05 both ships were gone, but the Cressy was still frantically picking up survivors. A few minutes later the U-boat's periscope was sighted, and the Cressy finally decided to run for it. She was scarcely under way when the first of two torpedoes struck home. The second, moments later, sent her to the bottom. In the space of an hour three 12,000-ton warships had fallen to one obsolescent submarine, with the loss of more than 1,300 officers and men. Weddigen cautiously picked his way back to Germany and a hero's welcome. The British were stunned.

Nu dan speciaal voor jou het volledige antwoord, zoals het in "The illustrated history of the submarine" Staat:

Om het helemaal volledig te maken: de bovenste foto is de Hogue en daaronder de Aboukir. De Cressy ontbreekt.
