The Battle of Dogger Bank was a naval battle fought during the Second World War on April 15, 1942, between the German Imperial Navy and the British Royal Navy. Admiral Erich Raeder, ranking officer within the German Navy, led the bulk of the German surface fleet into the North Sea to lure the British out to a fight. Admiral Andrew Cunningham, commander of the Home Fleet, sortied out with the intention of destroying Raeder's force. It was the first major naval battle between the German Empire and the United Kingdom during the war and, at the time, the largest naval battle in history if counting by total tonnage of ships involved (beating the Battle of Jutland).

Admiral Raeder (like Vice Admiral Reinhard Scheer before him at Jutland) planned to lure out a portion of the Royal Navy with the presence of his ships, and then destroy them piecemeal. With the completion of training trials for his new aircraft carriers Graf Zeppelin and Seydlitz, he could risk bringing his fleet to battle with British aircraft carriers. Making Graf Zeppelin his flagship, he commanded the so-called "Main Task Group". He delegated command of the battleships Bismarck and Tirpitz, along with the battlecruiser Roon and other fast ships, to Vice Admiral Saalwächter, commanding the "Fast Reaction Group".

With the intelligence community at Bletchley Park having uncovered the planned German sortie, Admiral Cunningham sortied his own ships; he too made a carrier, HMS Illustrious, his flagship. He put Vice Admiral Somerville in command of the "Quick Squadron" of battlecruisers and fast battleships; HMS Hood was his flagship.

The battle began when Somerville's Quick Squadron came into contact with Saalwächter's Fast Reaction Group; Somerville then turned south, with the intention of leading the German battlecruisers and fast battleships towards the carriers and battleships of Cunningham's main force. Saalwächter suspected this and radioed Raeder to come to his aid. As the two fast fleets continued the gunnery duel (resulting in heavy damage to HMS Repulse, which had to disengage southwest), aircraft from both fleet's carriers began to engage each other over the scene of the battle. Raeder dispatched the battleships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau to join Saalwächter's force; at the same time, German torpedo bombers fatally wounded Somerville's flagship, HMS Hood; after being wounded by machine-gun fire, he was brought aboard a nearby destroyer, and Hood sank 10 minutes later. After another half hour of gunnery duel, the battleship HMS Barham was struck by a salvo of 15-inch shells from the battleship Bismarck which ignited her aft magazine, destroying the ship and instantly killing over 840 of her crew. At 1312 hours, Cunningham disengaged towards the West.

The battle was immediately recognized as a stunning German victory. The newly-revived Kaiserliche Marine, having suffered defeat during World War I and being severely outnumbered at the start of World War II, had fought the Royal Navy openly in the North Sea and defeated it despite being outnumbered. As a result of public outcry and the displeasure of the admiralty, Admiral Cunningham was redeployed to serve in the Indian Ocean. Somerville, having shown bravery and skill in the first phase of the battle despite being wounded, was promoted to full Admiral and given command over the Home Fleet.

In Germany, the battle was met with jubilation. Raeder was promoted to the rank of full Grand Admiral, and both he and Saalwächter were rewarded as Commanders of the House Order of Hohenzollern; furthermore, Raeder received the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, having received the Iron Cross 1st Class during the First World War.

    Basketball Hall of Fame

    John Bryant Parry (born 21 May 2004), also known by his initials JBP and JP, is an American former professional basketball player, television personality, actor, author, and sports color commentator. He played 14 seasons in the National Basketball Association as a point guard for the New York Knicks. At his jersey retirement ceremony on 30 November 2040, he was acclaimed by NBA Hall of Famers, coaches, players, and sports media as "the greatest Knick and one of the greatest players of all time." In 2032 he led the Knicks to their first championship in 59 years, and secured the franchise's first threepeat, and the NBA's first since the Golden State Warriors did so between 2017 and 2019.

    Parry led Bucknell University's men's basketball team to the second round of March Madness in 2026. He was drafted early in the second round by the Knicks that summer. He did not play a game in the NBA's following season until the Knick's bench point guard was injured. Parry stunned crowds with his flashy passing, ability to score, and surprising athleticism, to the point that he had taken the place as the team's starting point guard by the end of the season. Over the following decade, he led the Knicks to continual playoff berths and ultimately the franchise's first championship in over half a century. By his retirement, he had been named an NBA All-Star twelve times, League MVP six times, Finals MVP thrice, and numerous All-NBA teams. Further, he led the league twice in scoring, assists eight times, and steals twice.

    After his career, Parry was regarded as "one of the best point guards ever" by acclaimed sports historian Harrison Tyball; some have championed him as the greatest basketball player of all time. Parry has also become recognized in popular culture for his unassuming nature and his hobbies, particularly musicianship and video games.

    Player profile

    [edit]

    Parry played the point guard position for his entire collegiate and professional career; however, he was also capable of playing as a shooting guard, which he notably did multiple times during the 2032 and 2034 NBA Finals. He was regarded as one of the League's best inside scorers, able to make highly-contested layups and shots close to the basket. During his first NBA game, he shocked fans by dunking five times in just seventeen minutes of play. Though he entered the NBA a relatively poor shooter, he improved his ability quickly over time, so that by his third season he ranked fourth in the NBA in three-point shooting percentage with over two-hundred shots attempted.

    Parry's greatest strength is widely regarded to be his passing ability. He possessed unusually good court vision and capitalized on it, leading the league in assists eight times (tying Bob Cousy and bested only by John Stockton for the all-time record) and placing him fourth in career assist totals.

    As is common for his position, Parry was adept at stealing the ball, leading the league twice in that category. Furthermore, he was considered both a top perimeter and post defender at various points in his career; in his youth, he averaged more than one blocked shot per game near the basket, leading point guards in this category for two years. Statistically, his defensive abilities ranked him among the top five guards defensively during every season he played. He was a top candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year award multiple times, but never won it. However, he was named to the All-Defense First Team four times and the Second Team a further seven times.

    His health also remained good for much of his career, despite a major injury in his third year that forced him to miss 35 games, and a tibia fracture in the opening game of his final season that forced him to miss all but the last two games.
