Engagement between HMS Mediator and three French and two American Ships, by Montague Dawson (c) Christie's
HMS Mediator was a 44-gun fifth rate of the Royal Navy. On 11 December 1782 she was commanded by Captain James Luttrell and waiting off Ferrol to intercept an American frigate. Luttrell found a squadron of three French and two American vessels, all heavily armed and with an aggregate of over six hundred men heading for Port au Prince. These formed a line of battle and presented a formidable appearance as the Mediator faced them.
Undaunted, Luttrell bore down on them and in a close action cut off one of the largest American privateers, the Alexander, compelling her to surrender. She subsequently captured the French Eugène and Ménagère.
The following day a desperate but unsuccessful attempt was made by the prisoner to set fire to the Mediator. The captured stores from the ships were brought safely to England.

Kuroko Shirai is a 13 year old law enforcer who has done several dozen crimes of public indecency and police brutality.
Also a molester.
And if you think your fictional character you’re reblogging is sexualised. Stop and think if it’s as bad as canon Kuroko’s own fashion sense.

So as I started grinding another campaign in World of Warships, namely the Five Epochs of the Navy campaign, I find myself playing more lower tier ships again. Actually that was the perfect excuse to get started in some lines I had shamefully neglected.
The tier 4 British battleship Orion was a blast to play even though I only used a 3 point commander on her - so no seals were harmed this time I think. I will definitely continue grinding that line, considering that I still got several Azur Lane commander for RN ships as well who I haven’t put to use yet.
Shenyang the Pan-Asian Tier 4 destroyer was another fun ship I shamefully overlooked. She’s the former IJN Namikaze a Minekaze class destroyer transferred to the Republic of China Navy after WWII but got American guns and torpedoes. Extremly fast and nimble and a very good gunboat for her tier too. Definitely a keeper - like Orion is.
