The Command of the Ocean describes with unprecedented scholarship, the rise of Britain to naval greatness, and the central place of the Navy in the life of the nation and government. It describes not just battles and cruises, but how the Navy was manned, how it was supplied with timber, hemp and iron, how its men (and sometimes women) were fed, and above all how it was financed and directed. It was during the period covered by this book that the successful organising of these last three, victualling, money and management, took the Navy to the heart of the British state.
