::I have most of the books in the other room; I can tell you Hornblower's career and ranks from memory, but I may not always match the right titles, especially midcareer. Eventually, I want to do a narrative of his career, with mappings to real-world events. Some research is needed into what was based on Nelson vs. Cochrane vs. Forester. [[User:Howard C.

Series at hand

I'm sorting out the titles and order; some confusion comes from books with Commonwealth and U.S. titles. Howard C. Berkowitz 19:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I just added what i think is definitive order and dates. I don't recall the ranks so can't comment on that. I added flying colours in the right place. I think you had flying colours where happy return should have been. Will be visiting HMS Victory in a couple of weeks with my son. Closest i can think of for a pirate ship.

Wow! I was going to start HMS Victory, but could we have a CZ Foreign Correspondent? (hmmm...in your case, isn't that domestic correspondence?).
