Summary
A note on the following tables: These have been compiled using the Admiralty List Books covering the years 1714 to 1726. The numbers listed are based on the average number of vessels and men assigned to naval service and particular regions each year. It is important to note that while vessels were assigned to different squadrons and regions, these were not necessarily present in that region for the entire time that they were assigned there. Some had yet to depart and some had left their stations to return to England. When relevant, I have provided information of the specific locations of naval vessels within each chapter.
