Crewmen are apparently told that you need to jump TWICE but it was still incredible reactions from the yellow shirted guy.

Re: The German Dreadnought Kaiserin

His own grandmother Queen Victoria despised him. That ought to tell you something right there
It was his MOTHER (princess Victoria) that despised him
Queen Victoria actually liked her Grandson.
