As young Hornblower (Ioan Gruffudd) gets the opportunity to test for lieutenant, the Spanish fleet suddenly attacks the British ships in harbor by sending a burning ship into shore. The ships are saved only through the quick thinking and heroism of Hornblower and one of the Captains who was testing him.
