He inherited no more than seven warships from his father King Henry VII, yet at his own death the King's Navy had 53 seaworthy ships afloat (much the same size as the Royal Navy today) manned by almost 8 000 sailors. Here was the springboard for Queen Elizabeth's captains (such as Francis Drake) a decade later.Õ
