Odd to think that as a 20th century submarine captain without a deck gun you'd be pretty helpless against a square-rigged schooner. Guess you could always ram like the ancients did.
Makes me curious about the old Kirk Douglas movie The Final Countdown where the modern carrier Nimitz is about to be pitted against Japan's Kido Butai. Wouldn't heat-seeking missles be fairly useless against prop-driven planes? Luckily Tomcats still carried guns.
