A Fleet in Being is Rudyard Kipling’s account of the time he spent with what was called the Channel Squadron. His interest in every detail of the fleet, its operations, and the seamen devoted to their profession comes alive here and presents a valuable portrait of the Royal Navy at an interesting time in its development.
