This work, edited for the Navy Records Society in the early 20th century, collates various official fighting instructions intended for English naval forces, showcasing the evolution of naval tactics during an era marked by significant maritime conflict. The opening of the book sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the fighting instructions that guided naval commanders in battles at sea. It acknowledges the challenges historians face due to the scarcity of accessible original documents and aims to provide a comprehensive collection of entirely new or previously overlooked instructions. The introduction highlights a vital historical context, explaining the genesis and significance of these tactical guidelines by integrating insights from contemporary naval experts and documents, such as the contributions of Alonso de Chaves and various English admirals. This collection not only illuminates the evolving principles of maritime warfare but also underscores the importance of understanding historical naval tactics in relation to their modern applications.
