The German Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet had a total of fifteen Capital Ships, including five Bavaria-class Battleships, three Mackensen-class Battlecruisers, four Helgoland-class Battleships, and three Moltke-class Battlecruisers.

During the Battle of the Azores, the Capital Ship formations of the German Navy's three major fleets had achieved brilliant results by encircling the American fleet's Capital Ship formation. Of course, these German Navy Capital Ships had also exposed quite a few problems in battle. When facing the Montana-class Battleships, whose armor protection was freakishly formidable, they found themselves in the awkward position of being unable to bite through them. Even so, their powerful combat capability could not be denied. At the very least, they were fully capable of carrying out this attack mission. Their 380mm Main Guns would have a devastating effect on the military targets in the Bermuda Islands.
At five in the morning on October 16, the German Navy's Capital Ship formation was less than forty kilometers from the Bermuda Islands. At that distance, they were about to be detected by the islands' Sea-search radar.

"Yes, General." Major General Leze nodded.
