Provides a comprehensive overview of the activities of the British
navy in the Indian and Pacific Oceans from the earliest times to
the present. This book outlines the early voyages of the English
East India Company, its building of its own naval forces and its
conflicts with Indian states. It examines the opening up of the
Pacific Ocean, the wars with the French in the eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries and the activities of the British navy in the
later nineteenth century, both off the coasts of China and Japan,
and also in the many other places to which the navy's very great
power extended. It goes on to consider the wars of the twentieth
century, Britain's withdrawal from east of Suez, and Britain's
continuing relative decline. Throughout, the book provides accounts
of battles and other actions, and relates the activities of the
British navy to the wider political situation and to the activities
of other European and Asian navies.
