The Harekaze's Real Battle Damage

Why Did She Sink? SPOILERS AHEAD The last two episodes of, what I hope to be, the first Season of High School Fleet (also known as Haifuri) is, I think, one of the greatest animated naval combat moments ever. Spread out over two episodes, the  Harekaze catches up to the Musashi  and is ordered to keep track of the other vessel until the Blue Mermaid fleet arrives and can disable the Musashi  and board her to save the crew from the effects of a virus.
