Wow, Rob, you got me by almost 100 years. That's a great picture that shows how things changed up to Elizabeth's time! It's like Cabot's is the Wright Flyer, Elizabeth II is a WW1 biplane, and Nelson's generation is late WW2.

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.
