#2 I've always wanted a towed array for my brim boat.
I'll keep an eye open for it.

#4 You have a better chance of snagging it using tri-hooks and 40 lb. test line.

#8 That's the Battle of the Chesapeake, key to the victory at Yorktown. I think before that you have to go back to LaRochelle in 1400+-.

#9 Battle of the Capes the United States can thank their lucky stars that the French Navy was in peak form, perhaps not seen before and not seen again until 1914 when they relieved the British from Med duty.

#10 I also thank our lucky stars that the British admiral was a moron and the French admiral had some guts.

#11 Mislaid, as in forgotten laptops that show up in terrorists' hands? Iran would love to have this sophisticated sonar and cargo exchanges at sea are even recorded in ancient accounts of merchant traders.

#13 The Brit Admiral at Yorktown wasn't a moron, just outmatched in terms of guns and types of ships - his was a Supply/Logistics fleet, the French were a War/Battle/Blockade Fleet.
