Jeanne de Clisson (1300-1359) was married to a French nobleman who was beheaded for treason by the French King. Enraged, she sold their estate and purchased three black warships with red sails, and became a pirate queen of the English Channel who targeted French ships. She became known as “The Lioness of Brittany” and in her 13 years of piracy she would slaughter every member of a ship’s crew except for one so that last survivor could go back and tell the French king what had happened

#12 the story is even better. First of all, both ships in this story, the caramania and the german Kap Trafalgar, were cruise ships and only armed with guns after the war began. Therefore, both ships couldn't fight real warships and decided to disguise themselves as enemy ships. The kap trafalgar as the caramania and the caramania as kap trafalgar. The first enemy vessel they met was a ship that looked like they were supposed to look. They fought each other and the caramania won.
