John Paul Jones says 'Hi!'great legacy of Empire is that Canada has inherited the traditions of the Royal Navy, a navy that has ensured no enemy sullied Britain’s shores since the time of William the Conqueror.

Let us not forget Oliver Hazard Perry of "Don't Give Up the Ship" fame, and the Battle of Lake Erie.John Paul Jones says 'Hi!'
More significant would be Louis VIII of France. In 1216 (while still Dauphin) he landed in England in support of the rebels during the First Barons' War, and occupied London.John Paul Jones says 'Hi!'
Then you need to decide if 1688 was a proper invasion or notMore significant would be Louis VIII of France. In 1216 (while still Dauphin) he landed in England in support of the rebels during the First Barons' War, and occupied London.

I must say you would all be fired as speechwriters for this fictional Sir Richard McBride. With an exclamation something like "I have no time for history professors! I am trying to stave off a wholesale panic!"Then you need to decide if 1688 was a proper invasion or not

Wasn't the breech of one of the lager guns cracked and later welded? I beleive I made the wisecrack about the gunner wanting a hundred yard long lanyardRight? This whole chapter makes me hope that a coastal artillery piece misfires...
Good Memory. A 60 pdr. field gun set up in a coast defence position in Point Grey, Vancouver.Wasn't the breech of one of the lager guns cracked and later welded? I beleive I made the wisecrack about the gunner wanting a hundred yard long lanyard
It would certainly make more military sense, absolutely. Unfortunately the Rainbow's mission is almost 100% political. The Canadian government cannot afford the appearance of not doing anything even if that would be the smartest outcome.Wouldn't it make more sense for Rainbow to try and plot a point where they think Nürnberg might show up and try to ambush them, rather then amble into a gunfight?
