Nigga do u know what the fuck an admiral is

Admiral Yi BTFO Jap's in 1500s keeping Korea sovereign.

sadly his turtle ships weren't as cool as they looked in age of empires

Zheng He controlled the great treasure fleets of China in 1400s. Some say discovered Americas. Got so powerful the king feared him and burnt the fleet to the ground.

Katawa Shoujo.

They look like a tank on water

*sails into your harbour and steals your flagship*

Themistocles of Athens v persians

What about seabitches? They are pretty rare, the only strong leader I can think of was the Queen of Tetuan that became a pirate and controlled the western mediterranean sea, and for a bloody pirate, in ended well for her, she ended marrying the king.

that one chinese qt that fucked all the europeans

>This mad son of a turk destroys huge latin fleets and you're basically italian.
>How?.. Just read his wikipedia page.

But seriously this guy rekt the both the spanish and the italians at sea while being outnumbered many times.

I may also be related to him since we share a last name

Forever and always

Barbary pirates were nuts, most of them were ex-mercenaries with military experience, fighting a bunch of sailors is butter.
Sayyida al hurra was a barbary piratess and pirating went all well until she retired.
I think the main reason is that all the strong fleets were at the new world while the new untrained ones stayed home.

Blas de Lezo

marcus agrippa

Jeanne de Clisson,The Lioness of Brittany.
(1300–1359)
After her husband is beheaded swears revenge on the French King and Charles de Blois in particular. She sells her family lands and launches a one-woman crusade. Winds up fighting the french, massacring garrisons, and creating a pirate fleet of three warships dramatically entitled "The Black Fleet" which would hunt the English channel and kill entire crews at a time.

Where do you "learn" you history?

Slightly curious

no Jellicoe?

no Cunningham?

seriously?

Jellicoe was absolutely perfect in terms of his conduct and command of the Grand Fleet in WW1 including his handling of the battle of Jutland where he absolutely outmanoeuvred Scheer.

and Cunningham was similarly faultless in his handling of the Mediterranean Fleet in WW2 keeping the italian fleet firmly on the back foot despite having serious issues with the number of ships available to him and the italians having more modern battleships, he managed a brilliant strike in the attack at taranto, whipped them thoroughly at Cape Matapan and handled the fleets role in the Crete evacuations with calm competence and moral courage.

There was this norwegian dude that sank half of our swedish navy with a couple of fishingboats. Slight exaggeration, only.
