The Royal Navy and the Londons of the British Fleet
Review notes two new naval history books. H Swinburne covers The Royal Navy with illustrations by Norman Wilkinson, tracing Britain’s naval evolution from galleys to modern ships and stressing imperial defense. Edward Fraser’s The Londons of the British Fleet surveys naval history through London ships, argues for sustained naval power, and highlights continuity between Cromwell and Edward VII eras.
