this is very intersting, you may also like to noteNereus (Νηρεύς), in Greek Mythology, was the eldest son of Pontus (the Sea) and Gaia (the Earth), a Titan who (with Doris) fathered the Nereids, with whom Nereus lived in the Aegean Sea.[1] In the Iliad[2] the Old Man of the Sea (ἅλιος γέρων) is the father of Nereids, though Nereus is not directly named. He was one of the manifestations of the Old Man of the Sea, never more so than when he was described, like Proteus, as a shapeshifter with the power of prophecy, who would aid heroes such as Heracles[3] who managed to catch him even as he changed shapes. Nereus and Proteus ('first') seem to be two manifestations of the god of the sea who was supplanted by Poseidon when Zeus overthrew Cronus.

Footnotes1. Hesiod, Theogony 233-36, is unequivocal that Nereus is the Old Man of the Sea, whereas the Odyssey refers the sobriquet to Nereus (xxiv.58) to Proteus (iv.365, , 387), and to Phorkys (xiii.96, 345).
2. Iliad i.358, 538, 556; xviii.141; xx.107; xxiv.562.
3. Or, as Proteus, Menelaus.
sorry i forgot

Indeed. I saw the thrust of your argument there, would also allow thatThe Portuguese Legion (Portuguese: Legião Portuguesa) was a Portuguese paramilitary state organization founded in 1936 during dictator António de Oliveira Salazar's right-wing regime, the Estado Novo. It was dissolved in 1974.
Its stated objectives were to "defend the spiritual heritage [of Portugal]" and to "fight the communist threat and anarchism". During World War II, the Portuguese Legion was the only Portuguese state organization that openly adopted and defended Hitler's aims for Europe.
The Portuguese Legion was under the control of the Ministry of the Interior and War, and was responsible for coordinating civil defense in Portuguese territory, including in the Portuguese Empire. It was deeply involved in multiple collaborations with PIDE, the political police that was the authoritarian regime's main tool of repression.
The Legion was dissolved after the Carnation Revolution in 1974, being considered a Fascist organization.

I agree with you in principle, but I think you need to take into consideration the fact thatthe MS MSC Monterey is a container ship built in 2008 by the Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries in Mangalia, Romania and currently operated by Mediterranean Shipping Company S.A.. She is the fifth ship delivered to the Swiss company in a series of 12 ordered. The 54,549 DWT ship has a container capacity of 4,860 TEU's.
