Captain Horatio Hornblower has been handed his first ship of the line. Though the 74-gun HMS Sutherland is 'the ugliest and least desirable two-decker in the Navy' and a crew shortage means he must recruit 250 landlubbers, Hornblower knows that by the time they reach the Catalonian coast every seaman will do his duty.
