Apparently it's Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar:

And rather appropriately:
using unorthodox tactics, Lord Nelson was able to destroy the majority of the combined Spanish / French fleet without losing a single ship.
Mind you, I'm sure Moff knew it had already been used in Battlefield when he decided to use it as well.
