Navy Debates and Repairs Cost under Noble Lord Edict
Journal entries reveal ship repair costs from 1770 to 1779 total 2,125,800 for navy repairs plus stores. Building contracts show 74 gun ships at 28,462 pounds each and 64 gun ships at 23,520 pounds, implying potential savings but debate over naval readiness and debt. Assertions contrast praised efficiency with calls for broader shipbuilding and accountability.
