One of the things I love about Rule The Waves is how every game feels like it has its own history, with its own set of ships each with their own accomplishments and records. But unless you're actually recording battles as you play through them so much of the info seems lost post-battle aside from maybe a few screenshots.
I've been playing a no-battleship run of Austria-Hungary and had a great fleet battle which I have called "The Bloodbath of the Straits of Otranto," where I was fighting the French Navy. It's not as much of a bloodbath in terms of ships lost for either side, I lost 4 destroyers and France lost 1 battleship and 3 battlecruisers, but it was more in a way in terms of ships damage (each side had 6 heavily damaged battlecruisers, and there weren't that many ships which escaped the battle undamaged).
This was a very great and stressful battle where I came quite close to losing a couple of my battlecruisers, and once it was over I wanted to record everything I could.
So I took some pictures of my fleet while they were retreating (1 ship, CL Raab, had already made it to port at the time I took the screenshots), and then after the battle grabbed the logs from every ship participating in it, the battle log which I was presented with as the battle went on, and videos showing the damage to each individual ship and the paths that the fleets took.
It should be enough information that someone could decently reconstruct the battle if they really wanted to and had enough time on their hands (Though, to be honest, I just kind of want to try a Gimp painting of my fleet entering Cattaro battered after the victory).
Here's the link to all the records if anyone is interested:
