Hi Matey to you,
I'm afraid Pugwash seems to be indisposed at the moment, so perhaps I can reply on his behalf.
Someone around here wonders it might be some book by Lord Nelson or something like that.
No not Lord Nelson. He was too busy defending The Empire against Napoleon and looking after his extended family. Could be Corbett's Some Principles of Maritime Strategy or similar book by a contemporary.
