In the same vein, was it not General Patton who remarked that going to war without the French was like going on a picnic without your accordion?

Splendid stuff

I remember coming across the reference book Conway's All the Worlds Fightings Ships 1860-1905 back in the late 1970s which is the definative
reference for all this stuff. Could not put it down.

There must be a lot of board and miniature war gamers on this site interested in this stuff.
