Hi!
Here is an interesting tidbit of history: On September 8, 1936, leftist Portuguese sailors organized a mass mutiny, aiming to seize the fleet and fight for the Spanish Republic. Someone alerted the Portuguese Admiralty to the plot. The mutineers seized only two ships and lost their opportunity to slip away in a heavy mist. Shore batteries disabled the vessels, which were forced to run aground to avoid sinking. Twelve sailors were killed and 238 arrested. Had authorities not been tipped off, the mutineers would have seized several ships and slipped away in the heavy mist - a stunning victory for the Portuguese Communist Party, and a major embarrassment for the government.
The code for these events is below.
Have fun and game on!
