There is no US Civil War vessel named Damn Yankee. There is a musical named Damn Yankee. During the Civil War this term was meant in a derogatory fashion against northerners.
As in the musical Damn Yankees, it's reffering to the fact that it's "those damn Yankees, why can't we beat 'em". The title comes from the expression of Senators fans from the fifties.
Drochrath air! (Damn it!) Is cuma sa diabhal liom. (I don't care a damn.) Dheamhan dada (Not a damn thing)
