Re: 'Superguns' of Elizabeth I's navy
Good program that, I thought. They didn't mention, though, that Elizabeth didn't expect many of her little warships to come back from fighting the huge and overwhelming Spanish ships but when the storm destroyed the enemy and the English ships came back home unharmed she didn't have the funds to pay...
