Author: John Winton
The Royal Navy occupies a central position in the history of Britains island nation. In Shakespeares words, the sea is the countrys moat defensive, and the ships of the Royal Navy are the natural guardians of this barrier. As the 18th century lawyer Sir William Blackstone observed, the Royal Navy of England hath ever been its defense and ornament; it is its ancient and natural strength; the floating bulwark of the island.
