Battleship Bismarck. Somewhere north east of the Falklands isles.

-"Kipitän! Here are the latest reports from the lookouts for the past few hours!" Said one of the younger officers to Hoehner, handing him a paper bundle.
He knew the young officer was young and a bit taken by recent events, but as a captain Kunz also knew that keeping calm and making sure the people under him were occupied with work was the best way to keep people from worrying.

-"Excellent, now i need you to oversee the operations on the cabin personnel." Kunz Hoehner replied to the boy.

-"Sir..... ?" was the poor officers clueless response, truly this was a new order to him.

-"Since they won't be expecting an officer to oversee their work, since it has never happened before, they will be caught of guard and we will root out the laziness of the cabin personnel we all know is present. You will do this until you are ordered elsewhere." Came Kunz Hoehners rasping reply.
Literally scratching his head after the salute, the young officer left the bridge.
Kunz thought it better he ponders weird orders than to ponder about existential things.

Now he started actually reading the lookouts reports. No visuals..... at all.
Even the scout planes had been out for a few runs, and still nothing. Sure, these waters weren't supposed to be teeming with activity, but at least some vessels should be around.
What really confused him was the lack of commonwealth destroyers, they couldn't have gotten far, so they were still a very real threat to the ship, regardless of strange events saving the ship from them earlier.

-"Bring the ship to a sixteen knots cruising speed, i think we have cleared the primary threat for now. Let's just walk away slowly shall we? I would also order us to go into radio silence.... but since we all know that is fairly redundant, i'll just ignore that part." Kunz Hoehner ordered his bridge crew, whom went into immediate action with a few simple nods for confirmation.
Kunz had never really been a funny man, and his attempt at a joke wasn't really accepted with a cheering laughter, but then again it could be the current events reducing their morale.

Nah, there was no point in lying to oneself, I am no funny man Kunz thought for himself.
He'd have about 7 days to ponder about this, and other things as well before reaching Cape town. For now he announced himself as leaving for his quarters. If he was needed he would be notified.
