I did mean it that way. From the way you were frasing it it sounded like one pirate was piloting 1000 ships (the way you said the entire world's navy vs Japan kinda thing) so I didn't mean it in that way (lots of ways in this post

). But if we're talking 1v1, then Ninjas win, with Japanese (any ship for that matter, most of them were steel once they actually began building a navy) vs. a pirate ship (you know what pirates your talking, with the arrr, the eyepatch, and parrot, (i.e. Caribbean in the 16-1700's)). Ninjas clearly win!
