thank you I am looking forwar dto what the communties naval experts have to say. Ultimately I think the RN had the harder job. France and Spain started out with more mnpower, more wealth, more ports, a bigger stock of raw materials etc. While the RN played the role of Japan in the othe rpart of the verses thread, a small island nation of limited resources taking on a continental sized powerhouse. And yet unlike Japan, the RN won hands down in the end. A RN ship of the line parked just outside your port is no different that carrier based fighrers flying over your home land.
