Are you reading "Six Frigates"???

No but I will add it to my list. I was a listed as a naval historian for the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service/Revenue Marine and Bering Sea Patrol (sail and early steam period) for a few years.
Although that field is fairly exclusive I've naturally read a bit on other eras; in fact my wife has a fair knowledge of Nelson's Navy through association. I remember when we went to see "Master and Commander" she was critiquing some things to me after the movie.
