We are approaching the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, which also occurred when France and England were at war, and our maritime trade was caught in the middle.
History repeating itself?

Could be,some buddies of mine were fishing near the Bahama bank the other day in all this smoke with very limited vis. And out of the smoke they got a big surprise, the carrier Enterprise!! Quite shocking when you are 40 miles at sea to encounter something that remarkable.
They asked permission to keep fishing and got it.

You know I think you are right, 1812 must be about the last time we were closer to the French Govt then the British Govt.
