Battle of Porpoises – WWI

Before anything, i swear all my shit this actually happened. During the last months of WWI, a brazilian cruiser was patrolling Strait of Gibraltar when the commandant mistook a shoal of porpoises for the periscope of a german submarine. Without hesitation, the almirant immediately ordered the officials to fire the torpedoes, which resulted in the complete slaughter of the shoal, this was later called “Battle of Porpoises”. Epic battle indeed, its no surprise that the Germans surrended not long after. via /r/HistoryMemes http://bit.ly/2v2DCfr
