In the confusion, Seydlitz lost sight of Moltke, and was no longer able to keep up with Moltke's 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph); Seydlitz detached herself to proceed to the Horns Reef lighthouse independently.[54] Hipper's ships were to see no further combat during the return to German waters; at 03:55 Hipper reported to Scheer that Derfflinger and Von der Tann both had only two guns in operation, and that Seydlitz had been heavily damaged. Scheer replied that Hipper was to return to Wilhelmshaven while the fleet stood off Horns Reef.[55]
