The second-biggest naval defeat for the American navy was the Penobscot expedition. It was only exceeded by Pearl Harbor. During this battle, the largest ever American fleet assembled, including the newly commissioned 36 gun frigate, U.S.S. Warren, and were brushed away by the British fleet, under the command of George Collier and his flagship, HMS Raisonnable, a 64 gun ship of the line. She was the first ship Horatio Nelson had served on. Paul Revere, yes, that same "one if by land" guy, was in charge of fleet artillery and was courtmartialed for cowardice (later exonerated). SOG is a perfect product for this engagement. What say you?
