The Line Of Battle: The Sailing Warship 1650-1840 - Brossura
Sinossi
Although purpose-built fighting ships had existed earlier, the principal characteristics of the classic sailing warship were only defined in the mid-seventeenth century, when the emergence of strong central governments, as in Cromwell's Commonwealth or the France of Louis XIV, combined with the novel line-ahead tactics to produce for the first time national fleets of reasonably similar line-of-battle ships.
As the battleship became more distinct, the need for a specialized cruising ship became apparent - particularly as warfare became more global - and from this the frigate was born. Gradually during the period, myriad types of crafts were adapted for naval use and the central emphasis of this volume is on the increasing specialization of the fleet and the evolution of each ship type, down to the period when the installation of the steam engine sparked another revolution in tactics and technology.

Softcover. Condizione: Near Fine. No Jacket. As New softcover book no dustjacket. First edition. Large format with pictorial glossy covers. No inscriptions or other markings, unread. 208pp. Synopsis from introduction - In 1672 the English and French combined to attack the Nether lands by land and sea. By this time the English people had no wish for this kind of war, and the naval part of the campaign was not particularly successful. England made a separate peace in 1674, though the land war between France and the Netherlands continued until 1678. The Dutch succeeded in retaining their indepen dence, but at great cost. After the power of France revived under Louis XIV, they had to look continually at the possibility of an invasion by land, and their days as a great sea power were over. Furthermore, warships were increasing in size, and Dutch harbours and coastal waters were too shallow to allow them to build bigger ships. Codice articolo 204350
