During the early 1920s, the Russian Civil War and the Greco-Turkish War were going on at the same time. In order to raise money for the war effort, the Greeks allowed various shipping vessels and merchants through the Black Sea, supporting the Reds. The British could not have this, and began a blockade of the Bosporus and demanded basing rights in Greek occupied Istanbul. The Greeks sally forth with their fleet and requested mediation from the League of Nations.

You are Commodore Jasper Hawking, CB, Earl of Rochester, commander of the 3rd Squadron. A headstrong and imperious young man, you were passed over for a promotion due to being on the wrong side of political arguments during the Great War. You figure that if your squadron can sink the Greek fleet before the request reaches the League of Nations, you can secure the Bosporus, and make the Black Sea a British lake.

You have two 1925 heavy cruisers. The Greeks will be represented by a 1915-tech German fleet (as they bought part of the remnants after WW1), and will have 2 Battleships, 3 heavy cruisers and 5 light cruisers. You have 5 hours before the Greek request for mediation comes through.

Scoring:
40 for surviving the engagement at the end of 5 hours
15 points for sinking battleships
5 points for sinking CAs
3 for CLs

-50 points: The Earl of Rochester is disgraced and Great Britain is shamed before the international community
-70 points: The Earl of Rochester gains a promotion but the League of Nations is disgraced at the beginning of its existence
90+ points: The Earl of Rochester is a war hero and is on track to eventually becoming a PM, and a far more jingoistic Britain will be trying to dominate the world stage at the 'height' of its power.
