I have not read this one, but (and this is probably my only negative remark about any book on the age of sail) Gardiner's book 'American Heavy Frigates' (an Osprey book to be fair) is full of poorly researched phrases and History Channel-esque generalizations that I've since shed away from anything with his name on it, though he may do a standup job on British ships and events.
