Between those two engagements come chapters on Actium, Lepanto, the Armada, Trafalgar and the clash of the ironclads Monitor and Merrimac at Hampton Roads, among others, each explained with plans of the fleets' movements. The book is written for general readers and pays close attention to ships, weapons and tactics. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
