How many times has someone asked you to do something without providing clear instructions? We often get mad in these situations because we can’t read someone’s mind.

SMS Goeben, an Imperial German Navy battlecruiser built for speed and power, dominated the Mediterranean Sea, accompanied by a light cruiser, SMS Breslau. Goeben was significantly larger and better armored than the British Navy battleships, but it was experiencing issues with its boilers, which limited its speed and operational efficiency.
