Uhm, sinking... sinking... oh yes, the behavior of the HMS Sheffield when
facing a French-built anti-ship missile!
And maybe that case might have some more relevance to events taking place in
1985, than the glory that was Britain at Trafalgar and the courageous deed
at Oran, eh?

Well yes, but that was a nickname. You seem to be claiming that she actually
would say she's Napoleon on workdays and Christ on weekends...
And by the way, the Royal Navy has lots of experience about attacking into
enemy ports - and some experience about being on the receiving end of such
attacks. It's embarrassing, but it has happened to everybody. In many
places, such as Taranto, Pearl Harbor, Dakar... Scapa Flow, Alexandria...
I hope this is funny enough?
