1525 Battle of Pavia
Climactic fight of the Bourbon-Habsburg Italian Wars.
An Imperial army enters the walled camp of the French in a night March. The surprised French fight a unplanned Battle. German landsknechts best Swiss Pike, and the Imperial arquebusiers, covered in the trees, massacre the nobility of France.
Next day the Habsburg commander, Marquis de Pescara, is astonished at the slaughter of armored knights.
"Oh God, one-thousand years of wazr, but not one day of Battle."

"We've got the torpedo damage temporarily shored up, the fires out and soon will have the ship back on an even keel. But I would suggest, sir, that if you have to take any more torpedoes, you take 'em on the starboard side." Pops Healy, DCA USS Lexington.
