QUESTION THIRD. What description of naval force do you think best adapted to the defence of our coast and commerce ?
ANSWER. Ships of the line are best calculated for the defence of our coasts, and for the protection of our commerce, inward and outward, when engaged in war with a foreign maritime power.
ARGUMENT. It cannot be suppos...ed, in a war with a foreign maritime power, that that power will only send to our coast frigates and smaller cruisers because we possess no other description of vessels. Their first 3 18 object will be to restrain, by ships of the line, our frigates and other cruisers from departing and preying upon their commerce. Their next object will be to send their smaller cruisers in pursuit of our commerce, and by having their ships of the line parading on our coast, threatening our most exposed sea-port towns, and preventing the departure of our small cruisers, they will be capturing what commerce may have escaped theirs, and recapturing what prizes may have fallen into our hands.
