" Tight, clean and unmarked-" `The only weapon with which we can expect to cope with great nations is the Navy. I confess I do trust the Navy-' These words, spoken by Winston Churchill in the Spring of 190 I, could equally well have dated from any stage of his long and momentous parliamentary career. Not only did he trust the Royal Navy in war; he saw it as an enduring symbol of what he believed to be Britain's traditional and rightful place in the world. No appreciation of Sir Winston's life and achievements can be complete without a knowledge of his long association with the Navy, the influence of which on the history of the world has been so incalculable."
