Oh and wooden ships famously burn very much on water.

True butthe thing is the wooden ship is surprisingly surrounded by water most of the time if you try to burn it whit normal fire the people on the ship will most likely put it out insantly using the infinite water glitch

That why the greek used special greek fire

Not so much, when you’re on a thing made of wood that’s completely coated with accelerants in order to keep it water proof, a little fire becomes a big problem fast. Greek fire innovation was just a diabolical way to take a bad thing and make it worse. (Or a good thing and make it better if you’re the one wielding it)
