The sea is the only empire that can naturally belong to us” – this is how it was believed in Britain in the 1588th century. Indeed, the Royal Navy (Royal Navy) has become a truly national treasure of Foggy Albion, the era of its victories created the British Empire, which won the status of "Mistress of the Seas", and in the famous patriotic song "Rule, Britannia, by the seas!". With the help of the best (and most expensive) navy in the world, London was able to ensure its leadership in colonial trade, to balance the claims of continental powers in world geopolitics. It was the navy that not only sent the Spanish Invincible Armada to the bottom of the English Channel in XNUMX, but also gave the British the opportunity to dominate international trade, take colonies from their rivals and capture new ones. This book is the first review of the development of the Royal Navy in the Russian literature from the beginning of the XNUMXth to the middle of the XNUMXth century. This work will tell the reader about almost two thousand of the largest ships (of the line and frigates) over more than three hundred years of British shipbuilding. Considering the evolution of sailing ships as combat units, the author not only tells which ships were built, but also explains why they left the shipyards exactly like that (without delving into the details of the complex design of a wooden sailboat). The publication is illustrated with unique paintings, drawings and drawings.
