Or try a bottle of the unnamed Champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JERVIS BAY will forever be remember for duties as a convoy escort ship. Armed with ancient guns dating back to the 1890s, JERVIS BAY fought off the German heavy cruiser ADMIRAL SCHEER in November 1940 while guarding a convoy of thirty-eight ships.. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs described in the posthumous citation for the captain, \"sighting a powerful German warship he at once drew clear of the Convoy, made straight for the Enemy, and brought his ship between the Raider and her prey, so that they might scatter and escape.
