Sorry. I was going to say that ships being lost in action with all hands, or very few survivors usually result from a dramatic sinking (such as HMS Hood - all but 3 lost), or sinking in action with no one available to pick up survivors (the German armoured cruiser Scharnhorst at the Falkland Islands in WW1 - all lost).
