Ah yes, "the ship that sunk itself".

If memory serves.... The Cap Trafalgar had been extensively VISMOD'ed with
canvas etc to make it look like the MS Carmania (the British ship it most
closely resembled), in order to survive encountering the many British naval
vessels about. The Carmania had been slightly vismoded (it's easier to add a
fake funnel than disguise a real one) so it looked a bit like the Cap
Trafalger (the German ship it most closely resembled), in order to get close
enough to any German merchie so it could be captured.

By an amazing coincidence, they met.
