The only naval vessel to be captured and not returned back to British is in my hometown... It happened during the Crimean war, we built a simple wall and spread molten tar all over our beaches.. Pretty much impossible to get thru that mess.. It's still in there, the tar allthout it's slowly vanishing.. All the other coastal towns were ransacked but ours... We still have the boat but we'll give it back if shit hits the fan with out easter neighbor, who are spreading lies already that Finland wants to join Russia... Don't believe that nonsense, nothing could be further away from truth.
