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.
It is, well worth the read. You'll also want the volume on Light and Medium Frigates--Mark Lardas is Osprey's rockstar for fighting sail, at least with USN.Originally Posted by Bligh

Just looked on Amazon. The Light and Medium Frigates in Paperback is £38. Maybe I'll wait a bit.
