A systematic, chronological survey traces the evolution of naval warfare from antiquity through the Middle Ages into the age of sail, emphasizing changes in ship design, armament, seamanship, tactics, and fleet organization. It examines notable sea conflicts among the principal seafaring powers, relates naval campaigns to their political contexts and consequences, and compares contemporary sources to assess strength and losses. The work intersperses technical discussions with portraits, illustrations, and a bibliography, aiming to serve both specialists and general readers interested in maritime military history.
