Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on the origins of the British Navy, challenging the traditional view that it was born during the reign of Alfred the Great. Instead, the author argues that the real foundation of the Royal Navy can be traced to the reign of Henry VII, who, motivated by economic concerns, established a small fleet of fighting ships and implemented a bounty system. This book explores the evolution of British naval power from its humble beginnings to its eventual dominance of the seas. Through detailed accounts of key battles and technological advancements, the author sheds light on the strategies and tactics that shaped the course of maritime history. The book delves into the broader historical context of naval warfare, highlighting the role of sea power in shaping international relations and the balance of power. The author examines the interplay between naval strategy and economic factors, as well as the impact of technological innovations on the development of warships and naval tactics. Ultimately, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the genesis and growth of the British Navy, revealing how a small fleet of fighting ships gradually transformed into a formidable maritime force that played a pivotal role in shaping world history.
