/ The UK has started something I might regret. It has offered Internet users to name which will be its new ship and the result is disturbing, because although the name frontrunner is the RSS McBoatface, second, with 15,000 votes, followed by the Blas de Lezo.
Blas de Lezo is considered one of the best strategists of the Spanish Armada, and commanded the defense of Cartagena de Indias during the British siege in 1741. the British fleet had 186 ships, 2,000 cannons, 23,600 soldiers and 4,000 conscripts Virginia, while orders Lezo had only 3,000 soldiers and 600 Indians. The victory of Lezo over the English, with such unequal forces, was so resounding that in England was banned by decree talk about it.
Now the name of Blas de Lezo threatens to designate one of the boats . of the British Army
