PART V MISCELLANEOUS DEFENCES THE NAVY THE CINQUE PORTS DEFENSIVE CHAINS, ETC. THE COASTGUARD O THE NAVY I ^HE scope of the present volume is to JL review the defensive works which have been carried out in various ages for the pro- tection of our shores against incursions of enemies: the story of our naval exploits does not primarily come within it.
The first duty of our English navy is, and always has been, offensive, as well as defens- ive. In times of peace we have been accus- tomed to regar...d our Navy as our first line of defence, and this is a perfectly accurate de- scription of its functions. But it is obvious that these functions have always been differ- ent from, and in most periods independent of, what is generally understood by the term coast-defences.
Yet, again and again, the coast fortresses have assisted the operations of our war ships when resisting the enemy, and to a certain 196 ENGLISH COAST DEFENCES extent the two forces have always been, and possibly always will be closely connected.
