Name a more based Naval Commander throughout history Protip:

Someone will point out how he lost about half his battles.

But still I don't think there any others who are as good as him. Didn't Pompey wreck the shit out of the pirates?

Nelson wasn't even the best British naval commander in history. He managed to win the one battle that counted the most, and win it at a time when the public needed a to put a face to British naval power. Much like Kurt Cobain, most of his popularity comes from the timing of his death. Even Wellington didn't like him: "He [Nelson] could not know who I was, but he entered at once into a conversation with me, if I can call it conversation, for it was almost all on his side and all about himself, and in, really, a style so vain and silly as to surprise and almost disgust me".

My vote goes to Admiral Yi or de Ruyter.
