French battleship Bouvet.
Bouvet was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the French Navy, built in the 1890s, and armed with a main battery of two 305 mm (12 in) guns and two 274 mm (10.8 in) guns in individual turrets. A top speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) made her one of the fastest battleships in the world. Bouvet spent the majority of her peacetime career conducting routine training exercises and was withdrawn from front-line service in 1907. In early 1915 during World War I the ship participated in a series of attacks on the Ottoman fortifications guarding the Dardanelles. On 18 March 1915, during a major assault, the vessel was hit approximately eight times by shellfire but was not seriously damaged. While turning to withdraw, she struck a mine and sank within two minutes; only 75 men were rescued from a complement of 718. Two British battleships were also sunk by mines the same day, and the disaster convinced the Allies to abandon the naval campaign in favor of an amphibious assault on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

To Be Loved (Adele song)
To Be Loved (Adele song).
"To Be Loved" is a song by English singer Adele (pictured) from her fourth studio album, 30 (2021). Adele wrote the song with Tobias Jesso Jr., who produced it with Shawn Everett. It was released by Columbia Records as the album's 11th track on 19 November 2021. A torch ballad, "To Be Loved" has piano instrumentation and sets Adele's echoey vocals over minimalistic production. The song is about the sacrifices one must make upon falling in love and addresses Adele's divorce from Simon Konecki, attempting to justify to her son why their marriage did not succeed. It received universal acclaim from music critics, who compared Adele's vocal performance to those of Whitney Houston and highlighted it as her all-time best. Several publications included "To Be Loved" in their lists of the best songs of 2021. The song reached the top 40 in Australia, Canada, Sweden, and the United States and entered the charts in some other countries. Adele vowed never to perform it live due to its emotional nature.
