This is a small intro to my future AAR this month.
Commander James Williams paced impatiently in the Admiralty foyer.. He had been summoned by letter to see the first sea lord.He saw Captains and Lieutenants go into the office while he and one marine major were left in the lobby. He read the 'Gazette' put put it down once he saw mention of his bravery off Cape St. Vincent.. He started to tap his feet until the Marine gave him an irritating look until finally, a Captain with his gold epaulettes compared to James' dull one, poked his head around the door..
"Commander James WIlliams?" He said in a Scottish Accent.
James jumped up with the most ungentlemenly attitude and followed the Captain into the First Lord's office. He was motioned to sit then the Lord kept writing orders and finally looked up at the blonde boy sitting in front of him..
"Commander WIlliams, I am seeing you to congratulate you for Cape St. Vincent.. A Frigate against a 3rd Rate now that really is something, eh!"
James realised he was meant to say something now..
"Not really sir, just doing what i was taught."
The Admiral chuckled,
"We need more officers like you. I hate captain who fret of going to battle as it could scratch the gold leaf on the figurehead, what what! Now then, I have orders for you."
James perked up and looked interested,
"May I enquire of their nature sir?"
The admiral looked at him, gauging his trust..
"Your getting a Carronade Frigate Brand New! The HMS WIndsor.."
James smiled,
"Thankyou sir, and where am I going? THe channel to hunt French SMugglers.."
The admiral smiled slightly,
"Have you ever been to the West Indies Commander?"
