    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    I was just going to post this myself. I suppose it doesn't hurt to bring it back up!

    Not at all Jason.
    Many new shipmates may not have seen these older posts.
    In the first few years we suggested new members read the old posts first, but now there are just too many to get through all but the ones which happen to attract your eye.
    Even with the membership, I can no longer spot every medal which comes up for earning so if you notice anyone missing out on anything excepting those with a monastery content or for shows please tip me off.
