Mogen we ook weten waar dit over gaat, en wat die Russen daar deden, en wat er dan al zo fout aan zou zijn?
Dat ik het Grieks niet machtig ben zal ook al niet helpen, maar uit die links wordt me niets duidelijk. Lijkt nogal op iets van een marine-oefening; tja, die heb je nu een keer zolang je marine hebt.

Bouboulina Coming from the island of Hydra, she was born inside the prisons of Constantinople (Istanbul) on May 12th, 1771, when her mother, Skevo, visited her dying husband, Stavrianos Pinotsis, who had been imprisoned by the Turks due to his participation in the Peloponnesian revolution of 1769-70 against the Turks.
Bouboulina joined the Filiki Etaireia, an underground organization that was preparing Greece for revolution against the Ottoman rule, as its only female member. She bought arms and ammunitions at her own expense and brought them secretly to Spetses in her ships, to fight "for the sake of my nation." Construction of the ship Agamemnon was finished in 1820. It was later one of the largest warships in the hands of Greek rebels. Bouboulina bribed Turkish officials to ignore the ship's size. She also organized her own armed troops, composed of men from Spetses. She used most of her fortune to provide food and ammunition for the sailors and soldiers under her command. Bouboulina was posthumously awarded the rank of Admiral by the Russian Navy, a singularly rare achievement for a 19th century woman. Her descendants donated the ship Agamemnon to the Greek state. It was renamed Spetsai and became the Navy flagship. It was burned along with the frigate Hellas and the corvette Hydra in the naval base of Poros by Andreas Miaoulis during the next Greek civil war in 1831.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laskarin...
