HMS Lydia was soon far beyond battle-charged Europe. Under the most secret of sealed orders, she sailed for southern waters, fought her way around the Horn..."

Peck's Horatio blows that elfish, pouting girly-boy's (Ioan Gruffudd's) late 1990s version of the famous midshipman right out of the water. Spla-boom!
