WG refused to define what Naval Legend is in its own prospective. Because all the videos i saw about Legendary Ships do not even "scratch" the epic journey of Adrias that the ENTIRE ALLY FLEET in Alexandreia took position to honor it because surviving and making such a journey hunted by German Stukas was simply IMPOSIBLE.

Also Polland may fought bravely but its navy has 0% importance to WW 2 out come when the tiny Greek Navy sent to bottom of the sea transports full of soldiers, destroyers etc in a narrow sea fully controloed by the mighty Italian Navy.

Instead we have a Polish Destroyer and a Dutch one...forgeting the HUGE strugle in Mediteranean Sea of the Destroyer Vasilisa Olga that was a british hull with british long range torpedos, with 128mm german guns and 37 mm AA german guns also but ALSO THE 1ST SHIP WORLDWIDE that a primitive Naval radar was tested by Dr Mr Santorinis in 1938-1939 and because Greece had limited intustrial cappabillity was given to British to further development.

Did you know that Greek Navy was the 2nd worldwide that used submarine?

That is the only Navy that its ships never surrender?

That has the ONLY ship that defeated ALONE an entire fleet twice?

Did you know that Armored Cruiser Georgios Averof had a significant (among others) change from the pissa class ships and that was its RAM? In fact the admiral Kountouriotis attempted to ran the Turkish Flag ship and Turks lost their courage and fled!

The 1st that made air to sea bombing in real war?

That was the 1st that tested Ship radars?

That was the 1st that adopted exoset missiles when even the French that created them were sceptical about their use , making the Greek Navy the 1st in western world (soviets were 1st world wide) that adopted guided ship to ship missiles?

And what among these are "legends" to a Russian based company ? It seams they do not forget that when Italy invaded Greece PRAVDA's 1st page congratulated Fasist Mousolini for his desision. Quilt is the only reason i can imagine.

An other first action world wide made by Greek Navy was the 1st torpedo ship attack in war time in December the 8th of 1912!

How many first places in the naval history must a Navy have inorder to attract WG 's attention. I forgot...Soviet navy gave so many naval battles!!!!

So the Dutch , the Polish etc. How many of you know that half of the convoy ships between USA and UK were greek in owneship? For that USA GAVE AFTER WW2 100 Liberty ships as donation to Greek ship owners that lost their ships and ofcourse their Greek crews! Even in the frozen north atlantic that us crews refused to go , Greeks gave their cargo ships and their crews inorder the military help to reach Soviet Union. But alas WG as a Russian Company is primeraly ungratefull for those that help them saved!
