Fleet Reforms and New Ships Sailed for Summer Campaign
Petersburgh reports measures to restore the fleet to a respectable footing. The Empress plans to send a newly launched 80 gun ship joined by two more 80 gun vessels, while the St Demetrius joins operations in the summer. Dispatches from Stockholm, Copenhagen, and other capitals recount strategic moves, troop deployments, and preparations across Europe. The June 15 to 26 range notes Prussian demands for provisioning to support 40,000 troops, naval armaments at Brest and Havre, and intelligence on the French campaign planning in Germany and India. The overall mood is wartime maneuvering with shifting alliances and imminent expeditions.
