In the meantime you can find a lot of the info in Winfield's books on the British Navy embodied in my work in progress on this Forum. I have collected a lot of info from several books ane the Web and am in progress of working through all the British ships of our period.
Look for my posts on First and Second Rates.
80 gun ships.
Third Rates of 74 guns.
And the current work in progress on Third Rates from 1793 t0 1815.
Rob.
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.
Thanks Rob! I will check this out!Originally Posted by Bligh
