Ship of the Line by C.S. Forester

Ship of the Line Reviews

• 
  Philip Allan

  A Ship of the Line was the second book written by CS Forester in what would become his Hornblower series. It was commissioned in the wake of the success of the first Hornblower novel, The Happy Return (called Beat to Quarters in the US), which had originally been written as a standalone work. There is a perceptible element of the author feeling his way still. We see him easing towards the idea of a series of books (which was still an unusual concept in the 1930s), without yet fully committing. He achieves this via the interim step of what is effectively a ‘min-series’. A Ship of the Line will take Hornblower via a series of interlocking adventures to the low point of desperate defeat at the book’s conclusion. This becomes the starting point for his redemption and rise again in the following, twin book, called Flying Colours. The end of this second book has a resolution that could have ended a Hornblower trilogy. Fortunately for us, Forester was persuaded to continue.
  
  The book is at heart a rollicking good swashbuckler, with enough nautical action to satisfy the most demanding fan. We also see the way that the author is developing his world. The character of Hornblower starts to emerge from the work-in-progress we saw in The Happy Return. Gone are some traits – like the throat clearing, while other parts are refined. The self-doubt that plagues him becomes a stronger element, together with his lack of confidence behind his assumed calm, determined exterior. He also has an almost autistic inability to form relationships with those around him, not least with Bush, his closest friend. Together it makes for a more interesting and believable hero than the traditional, faultless kind offered by some lesser writers.
  
  We also witness his flawed relationships with women. He finds himself trapped in a marriage to the frumpy Maria, a wife he neither respects nor loves. Instead he is obsessed by the socially and physically more desirable Lady Barbara, now married to his commanding officer. As readers our sympathy lies with the faultless Maria, who has lost two children to smallpox, is pregnant with his third, and still loves him unreservedly.
  
  In summary it is a fun read, with an eternally interesting main character, and remains one of the founding books of the naval genre.

  I read many of these books years ago and have started reading the ones I missed...or don't recall all that well, "chronological order". That is as Hornblower's life progresses.
  
  Here Captain Hornblower is in command of his first *ship of the line.
  
  
  *Note: A ship of the line was a war ship of at least 2 decks of guns. It was called a "ship of the line" from the tactic or strategy of running "your" ships in a line across the stern of the enemy thus allowing "your" **broadside to be fired into the rear of the enemy.
  
  **Note: A "broadside" means all guns on one side of the ship fired into a target.
  
  Anyway we get to watch HH grow from an insecure young man to an insecure older man. He is constantly aware of keeping up the appearance of a proper Captain in spite of his internal doubts.
  
  You will at times not like HH himself, but in the end I like these books. They will probably end up on my favorites list.
  
  Enjoy.

  It's good to see that the amount of bare flesh on display in the TV series is based firmly in book-canon. I feel like Hornblower and the Eighth Doctor would get on well, what with their carefree attitude to nudity. (Yes, I am focusing on the important parts of the book, dammit.)
  
  One day I shall make a graph with 'Chronological Progression Through Hornblower Series' on the X-axis and 'Urge to Give Hornblower a Slap and a Damn Good Talking To About Personal Relationships' on the Y-axis. Then I shall plot a y=x line. I mean, I know I was all gooey-eyed over his flaws back in Mr Midshipman, but now they seem almost absurd. Not talking to your junior officers at all, ever, except to give orders? On months' long sea voyages? I'm no great fan of social interaction, but that's taking it a bit far, surely?
  
  That said, when resisting the urge to give Hornblower a damn good talking to, I did enjoy the book. Probably because it's one long Crowning Moment of Awesome for the Sutherland and Hornblower's captaincy, and dammit, Forester, you can't leave it there. I shall *have* to read Flying Colours now, and not just to see whether my graph's projection is accurate.

  3 - 3.5 stars
  
  _Ship of the Line_ takes up where _Beat to Quarters_ left off and we follow Hornblower as he takes command of a ship of the line, the two-decker 74 gun HMS Sutherland . The novel is chock full of events as Hornblower captures a French trading vessel off the Spanish coast, storms an enemy battery, and even manages to cut out an enemy ship at harbour, all in about 48 hours. Indeed, our intrepid captain seems destined to go from success to success as he pursues a very fruitful cruise, though his successes are somewhat tarnished by both the fact that his commanding officer is not only an exemplar of the incompetence of wartime bureaucracy, but also the new husband of Lady Barabara Wellesely (his erstwhile love interest from the previous volume), and the ever present plague of his own self-doubts.
  
  Hornblower really is something of a strange ’hero’. Full of self-doubt and apprehensions about what others think of him, he is driven to pretend to be what he is not, when simply being himself might more easily garner him the praise and admiration he craves. Constantly concerned with appearances and propriety he gives up chances for happiness simply to do what is expected of him. He is as harsh in his judgements of others as he is of himself and I pity his wife Maria and the few friends he has that more often than not suffer for their devotion to him. Another reviewer noted an almost autistic-like manner to Hornblower’s character, especially in his interactions with others, and I have to say that this observation rang true to me. The only other option that comes to mind is to characterize him as something of a misanthrope, which might be a bit too far, but Horatio is certainly a unique individual in the annals of hero-dom.
  
  In my never-ending practice of comparing Hornblower to Jack Aubrey I couldn’t help but note that Forester often goes out of his way to point out Hornblower’s tone-deafness to music. I wonder if Patrick O’Brian purposely made his own Napoleonic hero-caption a devotee to music purposely in response to this. I would once again opine that I think the Hornblower books suffer for the lack of another character of equal presence against whom the reticent captain can play off…Bush and Gerard are simply too devoted to their captain to work in this role, though I have hopes that the captain’s coxswain Brown might play a larger part in future stories.
  
  This was a fine entry in the series and certainly keeps the pace moving at a good nautical clip. Be forewarned though: the cliffhanger ending may require that you pick up the next volume, _Flying Colours_ right away.

  I'm tempted to take away a star for the cliff hanger ending, but otherwise it was as good as all the others. As a captain of a ship of the line, 74 guns, Hornblower has plenty of opportunities to strut his stuff. Lots of action.
  
  While the manning of ships has been mentioned before, a special point is made of it this time. The gov't didn't give Hornblower enough men any more than they provided uniforms or many other things. They simply expected the captain of the ship to properly crew his ship, although they did deign to give him the Marines & officers. Hornblower transferred the entire crew of the Lydia, his old frigate that had spent a couple of years at sea, directly to his new ship & a few convicts. That wasn't nearly enough men, though. This meant he had to 'press' or basically kidnap the men he needed. Apparently just about anyone was fair game so long as they hadn't been given a special warrant exempting them. Forester dwells on this to some extent, enough to make the horror real.
  
  There are a lot of other complications. Forester's writing is quite terse & I wish he had spent a bit more time on some of the after-action reports. In one case the debacle of the taking of the Spanish fort from the French I can't believe he has completely dropped it. I expect it will raise its head in the next book since this one ended so abruptly. I HAVE to read the next one now. What happened?!!! How will he manage to turn this around & get back to the career we know continues? It's bloody awful. It's a good thing the man is dead & not near me or I'd shake him until he gave it up & slap the editor for allowing this.

  Re-reading the Hornblower books. I don’t like this one quite as well as Beat to Quarters. It’s an interesting read, and the naval stuff is fascinating, but this is terribly bleak.
  
  It begins with Hornblower desperate to get away from the wife he dislikes, grumpy because Lady Barbara got married, and depressed because he can’t legally kidnap enough men to fully man the miserable ship he now commands. There’s a cheerful (if bloodthirsty) section in the middle where he harasses the French along the Spanish coast, but it ends with a terrible bloodbath when Hornblower goes into battle against impossible odds.
  
  I’m torn about the situation with Hornblower’s wife. I understand why he married someone he doesn’t love or respect, and I recognize that he does his best to keep her from finding out his feelings, but it’s very unpleasant to experience his shame and dislike. I feel sorry for Maria, and I’m irritated by the easy out for Hornblower that is forthcoming.
  
  Hornblower continues to childishly enjoy the air of mystery he cultivates (“He had made it a rule to offer no explanations - and there was a pleasurable selfish thrill in keeping his subordinates in ignorance of their future”). He is also simultaneously envious and contemptuous of his officers and men. However, I think that we should give him (or the narrator) credit for recognizing the selfishness and the envy. Hornblower feels guilty for feeling the way he does, and is pretty sure other people don’t feel the same way.

  A middling Hornblower, both in terms of his career and quality of story. Forester has a penchant for getting his hero off the ship and on to dry land to fight battles (as if Sharpe suddenly took command of a ship and raced off to fight a French frigate), and in this one he gets him on to dry land to fail to fight a battle, in one of the dullest sections of the entire canon. Compensated for by two lovely (and lively) bits of action at sea. As others have warned, though, this is only half a book, with a cliffhanger ending leading straight in to Flying Colours. Once again, to anyone reading the series in chronological order of Hornblower's career, the relationship with Bush is downright bizarre. The man who was previously Hornblower's best friend, a couple of years older than him, is now a distant and much older figure who feels "fatherly" towards his Captain.

  I can still remember the first line from the novel, even though probably 22 years have passed since I first became acquainted with the novel. My father used to read these Hornblower stories to me as a child and in looking back, I feel an urge to revisit those heroic tales of bravery from a far distant time.
  This was one of the first works he read when he was growing up (along with the works of Jack London) so it has probably played a part in forming his world view. I too am drawn to this picture of a time when high ideals where important and perhaps we need ideals such as courage, honesty and bravery now more than ever.

  Jim Bell

  Very well written, following the Forester formula of frantic action interspersed with Hornblower's inner musings on his own capabilities. This time with a cliff-hanger ending.

  Initial fyi: my main purpose in reviewing these books is not with adults in mind, but for the parents or adult friends of reading children.
  
  While this is full of adventure and amazing action, I am finding that so far I like the books in the series that were written later, rather than earlier. This was the 2nd Hornblower book written and it follows the precedent of "Beat to Quarters"...a little more violent and in my opinion Hornblower is allowed to dwell too much on his feelings for a certain someone, not his wife. The violence is completely in character with the times and the setting, if anything it's not nearly as horrible as it certainly really was (and it's really not over-the-top at all--but you definitely get the picture, and it's as all war is). I find myself often momentarily appalled during reading as I ponder the press-gang, the nightmare it would have really been to be on a fighting ship in the middle of the ocean. Shudder.
  
  On another tack, the "relationship" tidbits are just sort of pointless in a book like this. It could be argued that Hornblower does the honorable thing (for now)and is loyal and true to his wife (at least in the literal & physical sense) but he pines for someone else. It is perhaps an interesting situation full of grief and perplexity for an adult reader, but a kid just won't care and the social nuance & implication will go over-head.
  
  I love the leadership and the other values displayed in these books. I will reserve judgment on the others until I'm done, but so far I think this is an excellent set for older children, with either parental supervision on the ones that dwell more on the "relationship" factor OR skipping those books altogether until an older age.

  Hornblower is so hilarious as a character. He is so stoic and sharp on the outside, yet terribly self-conscious on the inside. He literally thinks his next steps out in his head to appear more badass than he actually feels. Adorkable ain't the word!

  I am a fan of Age of Sail books and I'm slowly reading my way through Forester's Hornblower series. My slowness is partly due to delayed gratification and partly because I am not terribly impressed with the series. I have read all of O'Brien and especially liked Woodman's Drinkwater series. Compared to these two authors Forester's adventures are merely okay but nothing special. I suppose there is an additional problem with any book in this genre in that they all are about warfare between the British and French navies during the Napoleanic Era which was only about 15 years. Given the limitations of time and participants it is hard to imagine anything new and entertaining while maintaining some adherence to history. Nevertheless, a good sea yarn can some times be just the change of pace a reader like me needs and this one did not disappoint. I would have been slightly more generous with my star rating but the author did commit what I consider a major sin and that was to leave the reader with a cliffhanger. Cliffhangers are a cheap gimmick to sell books and if an author can't sell books based on his/her talent then maybe they should chosen a different line of work. So this book gets my 3 star, good book worth the time and the money expended on it.
  
  As for the story itself Hornblower is now a post captain in command of a 2 decker ship of the line. His ship is part of 4 ship squadron headed for the Northeast corner of Spain to assist the Spanish in Catalonia in resisting the invader French. There is background material regarding Hornblower's marriage and his romantic interest in a woman that appeared in the book previous to this one. This woman is a relative of the future Duke of Wellington and is now married to a talentless but politically connected admiral that is now Hornblower's commander. There is a satisfactory amount of sea battles and the dangers of the sea while in a wooden boat powered by the wind. Over all this is a more than adequate adventure for any fan of this genre but there is nothing to set it apart.

  I think this is my favorite Hornblower novel? Maybe? Or close. Beat to Quarters is up there, too, so, hmm. I like this because Hornblower actually has some good luck...at least for a while hah. Made me look up a map of the coastline of France and Spain in the Mediterranean. Yay for learning geography! (Also I swear this series always motives me to write some in my pirate fic lol)

  Father Nick

  I might have written before about the fascination I have with the sailing ships of a bygone age, but reading this book has rekindled my wonder at the mastery of the art of naval warfare as it was practiced in the so-called "Age of Sail". Again and again I am awestruck at the huge accumulation of knowledge required to command a single ship effectively, and how worthless individual lives seemed to be when ships faced off against each other in combat at sea. This particular novel is an account of Hornblower's attempt to outfit the Sutherland and his eventually successful harassment of the French army marching along the Coast of the Mediterranean, pinned between the beach and the nearby mountains. Not having read the immediately previous novels, I was struck at how much less I liked Hornblower as a person even as his stature as a captain grew to superhuman proportions. Forester has done a remarkable job at sketching this latest evolution of Hornblower in continuity with his earlier years as a midshipman and lieutenant while presenting the unique challenges and concerns that continue to shape him as a sailor and a man--relative poverty, lack of seniority, hopes for advancement, an implacable and numerous enemy, doubts about his own capacities, and the secret fears of dismemberment and death which he must repress in order to command the respect of the men he leads.
  
  Each time I read these accounts of hundreds of cannon being discharged at short range into the wooden hull of ships filled with defenseless sailors, there is an aftertaste of awe and horror at the cavalier destruction of so much life. Those men who chose the life of the navy were either deeply in love with the sea, or profoundly insane; few chose it freely, impelled by necessity or the bludgeons of the press gang. Yet on those ships, which were a unique blend of village, barracks, and prison, somehow life managed to flourish--men relished the performance of their duty, knew the heady triumph of victory, and put away against the more bitter days of naval service the small pleasures of drunkenness and song. And some life it was...
  
  Ship of the Line ends with a real cliffhanger that absolutely must be followed up quickly with the next volume in the series,
  Flying Colours.

  I certainly am learning more about the Napoleonic Wars than I ever knew I wanted to know!! Already 17 years going, the French still have control of the coast of Spain. Hornblower is now under the command of Admiral Leighton....not the brightest crayon in the box.....who also happens to be the new husband of Lady Barbara, Horatio's flame. Horatio still has the hots for her, even though he has vowed to remain faithful to his wife Maria, who of course is pregnant again. Understandably, Horatio is happy to set sail once again and heads to the Spanish coast where his newly organized crew manages five successful raids before biting off more than they can chew as they meet up with four French ships. The end of the book finds Horatio struggling with the option of sinking or surrender. It's amazing to learn what these sailors....and captains!....had to go through to maintain a ship and a crew....the personal expenses involved, the struggle to build a complete crew, the miseries of life on board ship. I have even more respect now than I had previously for the navies of history!

  This reads like the sophomore effort it is: while some of Hornblower's trademark brilliance makes an appearance, most of the book is a slog through the horrors and stupidities of war. Forester is clearly trying not to duplicate his first book but is just as clearly unsure how to tell a different sort of story and still entertain.
  
  Because this is only rarely entertaining. Hornblower is awake to the psychological toll of war, but reading as he destroys the livelihoods of French civilians or accomplishes the Napoleonic war equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel is painful at best. Add in the constant hum of Hornblower's romantic angst, his admiral's incompetence, and the last ten pages of death, death, and more death—capped by a morose cliffhanger ending—and it's no wonder this is my least favorite of the series so far.

  Love the Hornblower series, started reading them in the same order as the BBC/ITV series which I had really enjoyed. Although this book tells the story of Capt. Hornblower as a middle aged man, it was written well before the books about Horatio as a young lieutenant and midshipman.
  
  Ironically, one gets the impression that as Forester grew older he passed on the wisdom and humility he acquired to the younger Hornblower. Although, I liked this book, the character of its central protagonist is more fully developed in later books where Hornblower becomes accustomed to life at sea and challenges of leadership.

  Beth

  A typical rollicking read in the Hornblower series.
  In charge of his own ship, Hornblower needs to prove himself and do something with a grossly understaffed boat.
  It’s odd that the author, to show how “modern” Hornblower in effect is, has him resorting to whippings only with reluctance, having no faith, but keeping up appearances for the good of discipline, and having a daily bath. He then makes two casual racist references in the course of the story which sort of jump out and hit you in the face.
  Not so modern after all, Mr. Forester

  In Ship of the Line, Hornblower is given command of a bigger ship (the titular Ship of the Line) and sent off to the coast of Spain to wreak havoc on the French. This novel is entertaining, but not quite as good as Beat to Quarters, mainly because Ship of the Line is so loosely plotted. Also, the romance with Lady Barbara was a highlight in the previous book, but here, with Lady Barbara so far away and Hornblower mooning over her like a school boy... it's almost cringy. Still, Hornblower is a great character, a complex and very human hero, and I love him.
• 
  The Professor

  “He hated the land”. Hornblower sticks it to the French. If “A Happy Return” illustrated Hornblower’s lethalness against a single ship “A Ship Of The Line” crazily ups the ante as Horatio inspires his crew of gaolbirds and prisoners to five victories in three days leading the reader to wonder why this guy isn’t Admiral rather than the boozy, complacent dinosaurs he reports to.
  
  Even after just two novels it’s clear Forester relishes putting Hornblower on the back foot and then stacking the deck against him. Robbed of his prize-money and reduced to Captaining “the ugliest and least desirable two decker in the Navy List” Horatio begins his next mission of accompanying an East India convoy with one of the greatest spew-fests this reader has ever come across. Forester really conveys that galley cabin rising and falling 20 feet in waters very different to those of the blue Caribbean and has Hornblower desperate to avoid his men twigging he’s seasick, one of many humanising details. Good news though, the French handily decide to attack the convoy and what follows is just the start of an incredible tour de force for both Hornblower and Forester.
  
  Naughtily press-ganging the best able seaman from other ships in the convoy, Horatio then appears to the modern reader to go completely off his rocker, waging a one-man war on the dastardly French. However, a quick reminder of the politics of the day gives us a free pass to join in the fun without any tedious political reservations with sequences guaranteed to have English readers cheering and getting weepy-eyed at every turn. This really is England’s Greatest Hero in full sail, moral relativism be damned. Horatio captures supply ships, storms coastal batteries and manfully tips French cannons off balustrades – this, THIS, is what happens when you don’t get to first base with Lady Barbara. Throughout all Hornblower shows himself to not only be a whizz at seamanship (and the requisite mathematics) but an ace strategist too, getting his men to synchronise watches when going ashore and work to a strict schedule in the storming of the coastal battery. He has no idea what the French signal “M.V.” means but deduces it must be a friendly signal and uses that to buy time in his next attack. His people-management skills are on the up too: “It was more effective delivered that way, he knew, even while he despised himself for using rhetorical tricks”. None of this gets him any thanks on his return from Admiral Leighton, gorging himself aboard the Pluto, but who then has to find space for some humble pie when Hornblower battles a ferocious storm to rescue the Pluto from shipwreck. “Sutherland to flagship. Am about to give assistance.”
  
  No wonder this won the James Tait Memorial Prize back in the thirties. It all ends, of course, in a superb, shocking, “you have got to be kidding me”, cliff-hanger cementing this as part of one of the great ongoing, serialised English novel sequences. It’s pure A-grade storytelling that was ripped off left right and centre for every boy’s comic strip and adventure fiction for decades and being a newcomer and having no idea what fate lies in store for Hornblower the finale is all the more delicious. “A Ship Of The Line” is, above all, a perfect example of a writer putting obstacles in front of their hero and allowing us to watch him work his way out from under them. Bravo.

  I’ll be honest, I flew by A Ship of the Line. I believe this is only the second book in the series that Forester wrote in his timeline, but reading chronologically, you can see the refinements. Horatio doesn’t clear his throat nearly as much, maybe becoming more well balanced in his decisions. At the same time, he has this disposition to hate having conversations with anyone. Especially Bush. Which I find odd, seeming as how he’s his closest friend and there’s something holding him back from forming a relationship with him. But I know Hornblower to be incredibly self conscious, doubting everything he does.
  
  He’s incredibly depressed all the time. You can start to see his grief over the loss of his children, to my relief. I still felt bad for Maria though, who still loves her husband more than anything while he can’t stop thinking about Lady Barbara and her fine figure.
  
  The nautical action was phenomenal, as usual. It’s so much fun to read and glide through, you feel like you’re right in the middle of it.
  
  And OH MY GOD. THE CLIFFHANGER. I can’t believe my man, William Bush, wanted to STAY ON DECK after losing a limb!!! Foolish man 🤦🏻‍♀️ I now have to have self control not to immediately jump to the next novel to see what happens with Hornblower’s surrender to the French and if Bush will have a speedy recovery!

  Holy Smokes! HH gets command of the HMS Sutherland and wreaks havoc upon the French along the Spanish Coast. He captures several ships but must attack a squadron of four French frigates alone. He's outgunned with help on the horizon in the shape of the a small ship the Cassandra and two ships of the line Bolton's Caligula and the Admirals flagship Pluto. But they won't get there in time to help.
  
  Ordered to engage the enemy, he disables two of the ships but has his main and mizzen mast blown off by the third. 1st LT Bush has his foot blown off, Gerard the gunner is missing and young Longley is killed before his very eyes. HH must surrender his ship and give up his sword. He is looking at years in a french prison, while Maria carries a child he may never see. What will become of Captain Horatio Hornblower? As an oh-by-the-way Lady Barbara is married to Admiral Leighton- the admiral of his squadron.
  
  The next installment is "Flying Colours".
  
  Talk about exciting literature!

  Sid Nuncius

  This is yet another cracking Hornblower book.
  
  Following on from The Happy Return, it is 1810 and Hornblower is now in command of a 74-gun ship of the line. We follow his grave difficulties in manning his ship, his thrilling exploits on his commission near Toulon and an absolutely thrilling and devastating naval battle at the climax.
  
  C.S. Forester gives us a fine insight into the workings of the Navy at the time without ever making it ponderous or didactic. He also develops Hornblower’s character very well here, with his self-excoriation, periods of depression and puzzlement at the esteem and affection in which he is held. It’s a winning combination and yet again I found myself wholly engrossed in the story and characters.
  
  (It should be said that, written in 1938, the language used by some characters does occasionally include insulting names for the French and Spanish, for example, and even one use of the n-word. It is the way seamen of the time would have spoken, of course, but it may grate on the modern ear. It often happens when reading historical fiction, but you may like to be warned.)
  
  This must be my fifth or sixth reading of these books and they have lost none of their sparkle and allure. Very warmly recommended.

  Kevin Findley

  This should probably be a 4 star rating, but the ending felt like the last chapter cut off several pages too short. Extremely jarring, and took away from what was an enjoyable read.
  
  Horatio is in full form here as the Captain of his own ship and everything a fan likes (and hates) about the character is in effect. Forester portrays his hero fully, perhaps a little too much on the warts of his personality.
  
  Still a good read and recommended for anyone who enjoys the author, seafaring tales, or historical fiction like this and the Sharpe novels.
  
  Find it! Read it!

  Nate Hendrix

  This series is as good as the Sharpe series. Lots of action and I think we may have lost a main character. The end is a huge cliffhanger, what will become of Hornblower? One of the things I like about this series is that in spite of the fact that they were written in the 1930's, they are as good or better than many books written today.
• 
  Valerie

  I think this is the first Hornblower book I've read. His musings and small thoughts made the battles seem more real, although I must confess, I tune out battles in books and therefore a rather large chunk of this was lost to me.
• 
  Iain

  6th in the series, but 2nd to be written, it has the feel of an early effort, before Forester fully hit his stride. However, the series of slight stories is saved by a devastating climax that has me reaching for the next book straightaway.

  OH NO!......A cliff hanger!
  I also feel sad that Horatio is losing his feelings for his wife. I could kick his arse.
