Ahoy there seamen

Top of the morning to ye lads on the high seas. Ahoy there shipmates. We have come out of the Straits of Gibraltar today and these are perilous waters though, because we ran right smack into a gaggle of French corvettes and frigates from Old Boney's crowd, the SS Milnerbird, the USS Buffington, and the SS Haddenfields, so there we are. Little podgy ships that look like boyish boys, so very popular at the French naval colleges with the old crowd of petty French generals in Paris. NB - Those crushing colonials have joined Old Boney Napoleon and his flotillas and fleets. Bad enough the Spanish flirting with that French crowd, as they do just across the way by the Bay of Biscay, but maybe we shall have another bash at Yorktown or do some fine shelling of the Washington Capitol like the old days during the War of Secession, and the Indo-French Wars, when the yanks and colonials attempted to secede from the Dominions of the New World under the Crown over there by way of an illegal ballot and illegal referendum. Colonials bah balderdash !! And then they complain about the Imperial Russian Fleet - bah tis all poppycock me hearties. The Prussians - as usual nowhere to be seen, and tis always the case, when they are needed most. Where is Tipper and Blucher and Gneisenau and Tirpitz? Ruddy germans. We shall see if we can see off this colonial and French flotilla now this side of Cadiz.
