A description of one of the most decisive battles in British military history. I have a blog, upon which I occasionally post: strategicoverview.wordpress.com/
I did smile when I heard the first shots were fired by The Warspite .... that name must be the most Glorious in British history .... well alongside The Victory at least.
Nelson tends to get all the attention but this, to me, is the most impressive victory by the Royal Navy. More than any other it demonstrated the superiority of British seamanship.
Ohhhh come on ... with The Nile and Trafalgar, Nelson has his rightful place. But I agree, this amazing attack by the bold Hawke deserves its place too.
