胡德在米尔斯克比尔的第三轮齐射,打坏了敦刻尔克两门炮,破片打坏普罗旺斯号的测距仪使之停火,还有一发炮弹炸沉了布列塔尼……
Dunkerque got under way at 1759, just as the third British salvo arrived. A 15-inch shell ricocheted off B turret’s roof to starboard, disabling the nearest pair of guns and spraying the area with a deadly shower of metal fragments. One splinter struck Provence’s rangefinder, effectively silencing her guns. A second shell penetrated the airplane hangar and exited the port side without exploding. Rounds from this salvo also detonated aft on Bretagne, sparking a devastating explosion. Strasbourg’s captain saw “Bretagne’s whole stern shake while human bodies and hunks of metal debris of all kinds flew up into the air. A thick black cloud rose to the bridge. The rear funnel vomited a mixture of russet-red smoke, vapors, sparks and then flames.”
Vincent P. O'Hara转引自Jean-Jacques Antier, Les grandes Batailles Navales de la Seconde Guerre mondiale: Le drame de la Marine française
补充:普罗旺斯号是1939年法国海军的炮术冠军,其炮弹已经近失胡德,弹片已造成其舰员伤亡,因此使之停火意义重大。另一方面,炸毁布列塔尼引发的浓烟也是敦刻尔克随后开火却无法有效观测、发扬火力的主要原因。因此可以说,这一轮齐射决定了英军在米尔斯克比尔之战的完胜之局。
