    Remembering this is from 2019

    This is most impressive, Captain.

    I wonder, how this fleet review would appear this year.

    Any enemy would be pounded into submission in short order. This naval display of overwhelming power could not be challenged by any other fleet afloat on the surface of the seas.

    Now... This brings another thought: What if there were submersible vessels that could somehow take on those ships from below?
    But after my recent rebuke by the Admiral of the notion of clipped ships to better cut through the waves, I will purse my lips.

    I believe Mr. Bush that Captain Manley has been in talks with a Mr. Fulton about just such a possibility, but that the scheme was rejected by the Admiralty on the grounds that it was an ungentlemanly act to sneak up on unprepared foes. No one mentioned cutting out actions at night in the discussion!

    Bligh.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
