The original HMS Eagle was a famous 60-gun Navy ship which successfully fought the French in the mid-1700s.
The most recent HMS Eagle was a Devonport-based aircraft carrier.
Launched in March 1946, she was decommissioned in 1972 and some old boys still hold reunions at the pub today.

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.
