Looks like one to add to the shopping list :)

For more in-depth reading I would strongly suggest anything by Robert Malcolmson, especially "Lords of the lakes", "HMS Detroit" and "Warships of the Great Lakes". All make excellent reading.

A hobby shop I order from list this Ospry book as in stock. One am going to order.

[Capt P]

My mistake. I just checked and it must have been the Osprey site I was on when I saw this book.

Another good one is 161
Ships of the American Revolutionary Navy

[sighs, and goes to order more jackstands to hold up his house's floor under the weight of all of his references...]

[Berthier]

Got me there Steve, I only keep a list of napoleonic/french rev period so this one slipped through. I think they have or are about to do Anglo-Dutch War ships as well

[Attila57]

Today I received The Royal Navy 1790-1970 It seems really nice.

The chapters are:

Combat mission (recruitment and the press)
Organization
Command, Control and Communication
Weapons and equipment (there are some tables woth data and statistics)
Tactics
Conclusion
Orders of Batlle
Chronology
..

Today arrived British Napoleonic Ship-of-the-Line.

Only 48 pages but the HMS Victory's cutway artwork and other drawings are really nice
