I have got additional info during fight. I do not remeber it happened to me.

B Solferino-class Secondary battery hit DE* Flash fire! Ship blows up! Fire started

log after battle: 23 15:19 6 in 9225 yds Secondary battery hit DE * Flash fire! Ship blows up!Fire started (CL Admiral Spaun, HE)

What is interesting that DE was hit!
Solferino has 14x10" secondary guns. Is DE used for turrets top for the secondary guns?

EDIT: info from log added

Quite interesting that CL destroyed one of best pre-dreadnoughts in the world from range 9225 at time when usually effective fighting distance is around 5000-7000

I am sure this no solace to the crew of the Solferino, but I find it interesting that someone bothered to note a fire was started AFTER the ship blew up. :]

It's very important to know whether or not the bow section or whatever other bit might still be floating after a magazine explosion is burning, and to note that in the official record. How else will the designers know that they need better fire-prevention and fire-fighting systems in place to aid in the ship's ability to not-survive being sunk by detonation?
