I'm sorry, I always have fun with that name! But "Drowning while trying" IS the traditional definition of "heroism." What's the modern definition? It seems to be anybody on Our Side who gets hurt. Or anybody at all on our side, even if it's just a spitball fight. Hasn't the hero vs. hero movie's been made more than once? The one I can think of right now is "The Enemy Below." Anybody else got some good ones? Just about any HBO historical special will do. Everybody in any situation is a Hero In His Own Mind. They’re all girls who drowned trying to swim to their lovers?

It would not be easy to write, however, because the four antagonists are all heroes. One is somewhat less appealing than the other three, but he was a dying man and knew it. The story is Colin Smith's The Ship that Hunted Itself. It's about one of the weirdest naval battles ever: Cap Trafalgar vs Carmania.
