Présentation de l'éditeur
That sail upon the seas, To fight the Wars and keep the Laws, And live on yellow peas.1 AG unroom Ditty-B ox. G. S. BOWLES. SOME thirty of her Majesty smen-of-war were involved in this matter ;say a dozen battleships of the most recent, and seventeen or eighteen cruisers ;but my concern was limited to one of a new type commanded by an old friend. I had some dim knowledge of the interior of a warship, but none of the new world into which I stepped from a Portsmouth wherry one wonderful summer evening in 97- With the exception of the Captain, the Chief Engineer, and maybe a few petty officers, nobody was more than twenty-eight years old.

Présentation de l'éditeur
In naval warfare, a "fleet in being" is a naval force that extends a controlling influence without ever leaving port. Were the fleet to leave port and face the enemy, it might lose in battle and no longer influence the enemy's actions, but while it remains safely in port, the enemy is forced to continually deploy forces to guard against it.
