Majestic, a British warship, and his experiences commanding the ship during battle. The author describes the various challenges he faced as a naval officer, including the technical difficulties of operating a modern ironclad vessel, the strategic decisions he had to make during combat, and the emotional toll of war.Throughout the book, Arnold-Forster provides vivid descriptions of the battles he fought in, including the Battle of Alexandria in 1882 and the bombardment of Alexandria in 1884. He also discusses the political and social context of the time, including the tensions between Britain and other European powers.Overall, In A Conning Tower Or How I Took H.M.S.
