Man, frick the British Navy. That a-hole was out raiding US shipping while George Washington was fighting Germans hired by the British.

If it weren't for the French Navy, Washington wouldn't have won at Yorktown.

frick Nelson. frick the British Navy. frick England.

ETA: Nope, different Guerrier:

1753 74-gun

1806, 38-gun
