When your back’s up against the wall and all hope is lost, sometimes the only thing you can rely on is the enemy being too smart for their own good.
For those occasions when something amusing or interesting happens but the rest of the battle isn’t particularly remarkable, or perhaps the battle itself is fun but short, there’s Ship Happens.

Doctor Crizit’s in the house, an expert in treating all kinds of afflictions, but he does specialise.

A. Give it another three guns with a burst fire mechanic and call it the USS Annapolis.
In which I give the mediocre 1993 Bruce Willis movie of the same name more exposure than it’s had in 20 years simply because the name of todays’ hero is vaguely similar. Hey, you try coming up with unique titles for thousands of videos! It’s not easy!
You ever have one of those matches where you can’t quite figure out whether or not what you’re watching makes the ship in question the Zero or the Hero of the match?
In which SeaRaptor has to play his cards extremely close to his chest in a light cruiser in order to carry his team to victory.
Scharnhorst '43, on paper not as good as the regular Scharnhorst. In practice, perhaps slightly better. If you’re doing it right.
I do love battles that are impossible to predict either way until the last moment and today is no exception!
Lord Vader: “Admiral, what’s going on with todays’ video?”
Admiral Piett: “It’s an older title, sir, but it still checks out.”
In which I_Came_On_Your_Broadside takes the slowest ship in the world (not actually the slowest ship in the world) and makes the destroyers look like rank amateurs.
