A great video by YouTuber Dark5 discusses five times throughout history where naval warships surrendered and then attempted to switch sides during a conflict.

If you don't already know about the channel Dark5, then you're really missing out. They don't always do content centered around the military, but the stuff they put together specifically on military operations and historic battles is always really well researched and put together. If you want to go check out more of their content, this video is a direct embed from YouTube. (They're getting all the views here, don't worry.) All you need to do is open the video in the YouTube app from our app, or click on the YouTube icon on the bottom right-hand corner of the video player if you're on desktop.
