My two favorites were Frenchies:
"Dumanoir", the guy in command of the first four ships in the French line which got cut off by Nelson's "slam the fuck into the middle of their line" tactic. After finally getting his ships turned around, he came back to join the battle, but after seeing his own guys getting pummelled, he said, fuck those guys, and was reported to actually start firing on his own guys! What a dick!
The other one I liked, I don't remember her name, but apparently after the battle, there was one super-hot 18-year old French chick floating in the water after her own ship blew up. So the English picked her up, and instead of raping the fuck out of her, they gave her clothes and food and let her clean herself up and then gave her back to the French. Aww, what a nice story!

Am I a hero? I really can't say. But, yes.
