It was a test.

Test.

Here's the thing.

In their desperation to chase down this fleet, and I think, you know, we don't have this on record, but I think you're right.

Instincts would say if all 25 ships were near each other, that they could just turn all concentrate fire.

I believe that they were more in kind of a line, and so they're a little bit further apart than you'd expect.

Kind of like Master and Commander style, where they're fewer and farther between.

Some have different speeds, some have different cargo.

And so I think maybe the idea was to run up from behind and take them one at a time.

23 years ago.

Holy rubble.

Yikes.

I can picture myself in that theater.

It was almost empty.

Ends on a cool little upswing there.

So they're desperate now to chase these ships down because all these years and months of no pay...

becoming desperate, really just digging deep.

It's like a sunk cost fallacy.

They're like, all right, if we're going to go in, let's go all the way in.

We've already attacked the English Empire.
