Excerpt from British Battle Fleet, Vol. 1: Its Inception and Groeth Throughout the Centuries to the Present Day
His book is not intended to be a history of the British Navy in the generally accepted sense of the term. For this reason small space is devoted to various strategical and tactical matters of the past which generally bulk largely in more regular naval histories - Oi which a sufficiency already exist.
In such histories primary interest naturally attaches to what the admirals did with the ships provided for them. Here I have sought rather to deal with how the ships came to be provided, and how they were developed from the crude warships Of the past to the intricate and compli cated machines of to-day; and the strictly history part of the book is compressed with that idea principally in View. The live end of naval construction is necessarily that which directly or indirectly concerns the ships of our own time. The warships of the past are of special interest in so far as they were steps to the warships of to-day but, outside that, practical interest seems confined to what led to these steps being what they were.

This book offers a fresh perspective on the origins of the British Navy, challenging the traditional view that it was born during the reign of Alfred the Great.

The book delves into the broader historical context of naval warfare, highlighting the role of sea power in shaping international relations and the balance of power.
