Why are they showing a luxury liner for the picture here? Since the Carmania could sink its doppelganger, I'm assuming it was a warship, not a liner...
So, I looked it up. The picture is actually accurate, as is the story! The Carmania was an ocean liner converted to have weaponry when WWI broke out, as was the Cap Trafalgar, the German ship. And the German ship was disguised as the Carmania. I was the first recorded battle between converted clean liners in history.
