I put this on my Christmas wish-list, which my wife totally ignored

Guess I'll have to take charge and place an order with Amazon (via the Subsim link, of course!)

Just as an aside, the British release has a completely different title:

Six Frigates: How Piracy, War and British Supremacy at Sea Gave Birth to the World's Most Powerful Navy

This sounds pretty cool. I am putting it on my birthday list!

I read the review earlier and noted a big mistake:

Quote:

The act allocated the then-colossal sum of $666,666 towards the construction of six powerful new frigates, four 44-gun and two 36-gun - the United States, President, Congress, Constitution, Constellation, and Chesapeake.

There were three of each: Constitution, President and United States were the three 44s; Chesapeake, Congress and Constellation were the 36s.
