 Frauenlob spent her entire career in the reconnaissance forces of the High Seas Fleet . She saw action during World War I at the Battle of Heligoland Bight in August 1914 , where she badly damaged the British cruiser HMS Arethusa , and at the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916 . There , in a chaotic night engagement , Frauenlob was hit by a torpedo launched by HMS Southampton , which caused the ship to capsize and sink with the vast majority of her crew . The wreck was discovered in 2000 , and is in remarkably good condition , sitting upright on the ocean floor .
