Action of 29 February 1916

The Action of 29 February 1916 was a naval battle fought during the First World War between the United Kingdom and the German Empire. A German commerce raider broke out into the North Sea and in response Admiral Sir John Jellicoe dispatched a fleet of Royal Navy warships to intercept the raider. Four British vessels made contact with the Germans and in the ensuing engagement two ships were sunk in a bloody engagement.
==Background==
Just converted, the 5,000 ton auxiliary cruiser was armed with four hidden guns, one hidden gun and two torpedo tubes. She was crewed by about 360 officers and men.
''Greif'' departed her home port of Hamburg into the North Sea on February 27, intending to enter the Atlantic by an Icelandic route,〔Corbett, Julian. ''Naval Operations'' Vol III., p. 272.〕 and a British submarine spotted her and reported her position to the Admiralty the next day.
Admiral Jellicoe sortied five cruisers and seven destroyers to sweep the North Sea with the auxiliary cruisers HMS ''Alcantara'' and HMS ''Andes'' which were already on patrol. The British auxiliary cruisers both weighed about 15,000 tons and carried eight 6-inch and two 3-pounders each. Four Royal Navy warships encountered ''Greif'', including the two auxiliary cruisers, there was the light cruiser and the destroyer which arrived at the very end of the action.
