(A perfect sky for a glorious sea battle that never took place.)

In the setting of a 17th century painting of a sea battle, modern war ships of some 18 countries replace the ancient ones on the very spot.
Still you see the sails slightly in the background, and the flags that before carried national colors, now peaceful white instead. Yet in a scattered sky cause unfortunately not much has changed since then.
On all ships you see crew bringing a salute of honour.
