The Flag Captain

In the spring of 1797, Richard Bolitho brings the 100-gun Euryalus home to Falmouth to be flagship of the hastily formed squadron, which has been chosen to make the first British re-entry to the Mediterranean for nearly a year. As flag captain, Bolitho is made to contend with the unyielding attitudes of his new admiral.

In primavara anului 1797, Richard Bolitho aduce acasa la Falmouth nava Euryalus, cu 100 de tunuri, pentru a fi nava amiral a escadrilei formate in graba, aleasa pentru prima reintrare britanica in Mediterana dupa aproape un an. In calitate de capitan de nava, Bolitho este nevoit sa se confrunte cu atitudinea inflexibila a noului sau amiral.
