For every naval officer in fiction or reality the frigate was the most sought after command As dashing as a modern destroyer the frigate offered the excitement of independent service with the prospect of a glorious singleship battle or a fortune to be made in prize money Their actions have been the stuff of history and sea fiction for generations but the ships themselves are hardly documented at all This book fills that gap with comprehensive descriptions of the design construction armament and fitting of individual classes as well as the factors that influenced their development and the roles they were expected to perform Supporting the narrative are detailed lists on all classes including the prizes captured from opposing French Spanish Dutch Danish and American navies and comparative aspects like performance under sail Based on extensive new research the author goes beyond the frigates specifications to background issues like the construction experiments prior to the adoption of the Seppings diagonal system and the improvements to guns mounting and powder during the wars of 17931815 This handsome largeformat volume is fully illustrated with original plans photographs of models and contemporary prints It will be a rich addition to any maritime bookshelf and provide firsttime readers of this genre with an indepth look at a sailing vessel steeped in naval lore

Napoleons campaigns were the most complex military undertakings in history before the nineteenth century But the defining battles of Austerlitz Borodino and Waterloo changed more than the nature of warfare Concepts of chance contingency and probability became permanent fixtures in the Wests understanding of how the world works Empire of Chance examines anew the place of war in the history of Western thought showing how the Napoleonic Wars inspired a new discourse on knowledgeSoldiers returning from the battlefields were forced to reconsider basic questions about what it is possible to know and how decisions are made in a fog of imperfect knowledge Artists and intellectuals came to see war as embodying modernity itself The theory of war espoused in Carl von Clausewitzs classic treatise responded to contemporary developments in mathematics and philosophy and the tools for solving military problemsmaps games and simulationsbecame models for how to manage chance On the other hand the realist novels of Balzac Stendhal and Tolstoy questioned whether chance and contingency could ever be described or controlledAs Anders EngbergPedersen makes clear after Napoleon the state of war no longer appeared exceptional but normative It became a prism that revealed the underlying operative logic determining the way society is ordered and unfolds

The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars were the first truly global conflicts The Royal Navy was a key player in the wider wars and for Britain the key factor in her eventual emergence as the only naval power capable of sustained global hegemony The most iconic battles of any era were fought at sea during these years from the Battle of the Nile in 1798 to Nelsons momentous victory at Trafalgar in October 1805 In this period the Navy had reached a peak of efficiency and was unrivalled in manpower and technological strength The eradication of scurvy in the 1790s had a significant impact on the health of sailors and along with regular supplies of food and water gave the British an advantage over their rivals in battle As well as naval battles the Navy also undertook amphibious operations capturing many of Frances Caribbean colonies and Dutch colonies in the East Indies and Ceylon this Imperial dimension was integral to British strength and counteracting French success on continental EuropeThis book looks at the history of the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars 17931815 from a broad perspective examining the strategy operations and tactics of British seapower While it delves into the details of Royal Navy operations such as battle blockade commerce protection and exploration it also covers a myriad of other aspects often overlooked in narrative histories such as the importance of naval logistics transport relations with the army and manning An assessment of key naval figures and combined eyewitness accounts situate the reader firmly in Nelsons navy Through an exploration of the relationship between the Navy trade and empire Martin Robson highlights the contribution Royal Navy made to Britains rise to global hegemony through the nineteenth century Pax Britannica

Novelists from C S Forester to Patrick OBrian have glorified Nelsons dashing frigate captains but how much of their story is true The author of this new volume on the nature of frigate command argues that the legend was very close to reality Based on detailed studies of the appointments training and promotion of the Royal Navys officer corps he contends that frigate commanders were an elite group whose careers followed separate paths from their contemporaries They exhibited specific and highly prized skills that were rewarded with fasttrack promotions and resulted in the creation of one of the most successful military cadres in history Often facing daunting odds these frigate captains won the vast majority of their battles and a place in maritime lore This book is a fascinating contribution to the broader understanding of the workings of Nelsons navy and will appeal to enthusiasts and historians alike
