By the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, Britain was the undisputed master of the seas, owing to the power and strength of the Royal Navy. Its fleets, comprising ships of the line, frigates, and gunboats, had doubled in size since the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars in 1793, totalling almost a thousand capital vessels. This book examines the commanders, men, and ships of the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and discusses the Navy's command structure (from the Admiralty down to ship level) and its organisation at sea. The tactics employed in action by a fleet, squadron, and individual ship, respectively are also discussed, as are the medical services providing a fascinating insight into the navy that ruled the waves. ""The Royal Navy 1793-1815 "examines the commanders, men, and ships of the Royal Navy during the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars, and discusses the Navy's command structure and its organization at sea... [It] provides fascinating insight into the navy that ruled the waves." -"sirreadalot.org" (December 2, 2007)
"Overall this is a most impressive book and probably one of the best of the Battle Orders series. One that I can most highly recommend to you and one I know you will find enlightening and enjoyable." -Scott Van Aken, "modelingmadness.com" (December 2007)
