  Commanders at sea struggle with the unpredictability of natural elements and with a shroud of uncertainty often referred to as the fog of war . Over the centuries, most admirals tried to find in new technologies a means to assert centralized control over their forces. This work observes five centuries of dramatic encounters under sail and steam.
