1914: 6th Flotilla Chatham, HMS Bonaventure and Hebe
It is believed that due to C9's actions the bombardment of Hartlepool by the German battle-cruisers Seydlitz, Moltke and Blücher on 16th December 1914 was brought to an aburpt end when they thought that C9 was in a position to attack them having forced her way out of the port.
During this raid there were 86 people killed and 424 wounded.

Before Harrison Ford assumed the mantle of playing Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan hero in Patriot Games, Alec Baldwin took a swing at the character in this John McTiernan film and hit one to the fence. If less instantly sympathetic than Ford, Baldwin is in some respects more interesting and nuanced as Ryan, and drawing comparisons between both actors' performances can make for some interesting post-movie discussion.
That aside, The Hunt for Red October stands alone as a uniquely exciting adventure with a fantastic co-star: Sean Connery as a Russian nuclear submarine captain attempting to defect to the West on his ship. Ryan must figure out his true motives for approaching the US.
McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard) made an exceptionally handsome movie here with action sequences that really do take one's breath away.
