How it happened, because the detail matters:
Gettysburg fought her own engagement well. Fourteen sea-skimmers killed by SM-2 and ESSM. Then Suffren put a torpedo spread underneath her and she had to manoeuvre out of her own defensive geometry.
Two Exocets amidships while turning. Auxiliary fuel fire, electrical distribution to the SPY-1B arrays cut. After that she could not see and could not shoot.
Three hours of damage control. Abandoned at 07:15.
