    HMS Royal Adelaide was a 104-gun first-rateship of the line of the Royal Navy, named for Queen Adelaide and launched on the 28th of July, 1828 at Plymouth.
    When first ordered in 1812 she was intended to be a
    second rate of 98 guns, but in the general reclassifications of 1817 she was reclassed as a first rate.
    She was converted to serve as a depot ship in 1860, and was eventually sold out of the navy in 1905

    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.
