Most significant naval event Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

What was the most significant naval event of the period? According to this panel of experts, definitely not any of the battles that might immediately spring to mind! Trafalgar is well and truly sidelined as Sam Jolley, Callum Easton, Jamie Goodall, and Andy Young take us on a master class of smart thinking in their pitches.
