According to eye witness accounts, both the Allies and the Turks ceased firing to watch the Triumph sink and when she finally dissappeared under the waves they carried on fighting again as if nothing had happened.
Goliath and Irresistable were also lost there.
It was a wise choice to send the Queen Elizabeth home I think.
My Grandad was on the Goliath and survived the sinking but many were lost she went down so quick. what a bloody waste of men in a crazy battle plan
