The Tudor Navy. The Ships, Men and Organisation, 1485-1603/Флот Тюдоров. Корабли, люди и организация, 1485-1603

Издание на английском языке
The book is devoted to the formation of the Tudor Navy as the founder of the future Royal Navy of Great Britain. It begins with a description of the political chaos after the death of Edward IV and the coming to power of the Tudor dynasty, which led to the establishment of an absolute monarchy in England. In the context of the changing European political situation of the XVI century, the need to create a strong military fleet became obvious. The book is divided into two parts: the first covers the events and development of the fleet under each reign, and the second examines in detail the actions of the fleet during the time of Elizabeth I during the Spanish War. There are also lists of ships with their names and dates, as well as methods for calculating cargo capacity. The book includes formulas for determining tonnage and analyzes changes in the design of ships, which allows a deeper understanding of the evolution of the English fleet.
