Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delivers an analysis of the strength of the French navy in comparison to the English navy. The author argues that the French have failed to match the technological innovations of the English in steam technology, which have transformed the nature of sea warfare in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars. The author contends that the French have placed a misguided emphasis on large sailing vessels and an unnecessary investment in preliminary naval fortifications. Instead, the author argues that France should focus on building up its naval steam capacity, and urges the country's leadership to turn its attention to the proficiency of the English steam navy as a model for emulation. The book also makes the practical suggestion of using privateers to attack British commercial interests on the open seas in the event of war. The author warns that if France does not take these steps, it will be left vulnerable to attack from its rivals.
