The Royal Navy of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was a
legendary force: it claimed supremacy in every ocean, policed the empire
and helped Britain to establish itself as a global superpower.

During
this period the Royal Navy was completely transformed, from the wooden
walls of Nelson’s time to the steel dreadnoughts, destroyers and
submarines which fought at Jutland. Peter Padfield describes the
struggle to adapt to the radical changes which affected every aspect of
weapons, tactics, education, propulsion, training and social attitudes.

Rule
Britannia looks, in human terms, at the background to the legends that
accumulate around any service as splendid and uniquely powerful as the
Royal Navy, and sets down the reality in the words of those who served.
