Question regarding Royal Navy

There are some reasons that I know.

 

Many countries, including Grand Empire, Japan under leadership of Hideyoshi and Roman Empire, failed to achieve the great navy due to the fact that they were not familiar with sea battles. France, busy fighting a European conflicts (Balance of Power) and could not prepare a proper sea battles. Japan, confident that they would be victorious over Chosen (Korean) navy, was heavily crushed by Yi Sun-shin's brilliant modernized navy warfare. Rome, having constant conflict with neighbor powers and barbarians, were not experienced in sea battles until they became powerful enough to wage wars against Carthage.

 

This is because such countries named before relied heavily on "Grappling hook" tactic - that is, a strategy in which armed forces on the ships would land on enemy ships and eliminate the enemies. Rome was able to win over Carthage because Romans invented a giant ladder that would be dropped and hook on the enemy ship. Roman soldiers, well-trained in land battle, would travel to enemy ships by the ladder and changing the sea battle to land battle.

 

Napoleon, though used the same strategy, failed thanks to Nelson's tactic quite similar to Yi Sun-shin's method of destorying the enemy ships by powerful cannons and well-trained archors to keep the enemy ships away from their ships.

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

 

That's sounds very honest to me.

 

By the way, you should not forget that by the Trafalgar sea battle Spain wasn't a free country but it was occupied by France.
