Try The Royal Navy in Adversity by W. M. James, or The Royal Navy by Clowes
(in seven volumes).  James has maps in the form of 3/4 aerial views -
looks just like a miniatures game! Jed

While I was somewhat familiar with De Grasse, I'm ashamed I never followed the
name of a ship(as well as spaceship) back to this fascinating person. Thanks
to you both, for having set me on my way to correcting my error!
Definitely campaign ideas a-percholating for FT.
