Lately, I've been doing a lot of sketches due to lack of time. This was a sketch I started months ago but never finished, like other sketches that I will try to publish as I go along.
While on HMT Olympic's twenty-second voyage as a troopship on May 12, 1918, she encountered the German submarine U-103. Her crew lined her up and rammed the submarine as it attempted to dive. Olympic sliced up the submarine's pressure hull, causing it to sink.

During WWI the RMS Olympic (Titanic's sister) served as a troop ship. In the early hours of 12 May 1918, while en route to France with US troops, the German submarine U-103 was sighted and rammed by the Olympic. The escort USS Davis picked up 31 survivors.
