Adm. Lord Hood : Well, Hornblower, after that cruise, you may not find it so exciting commanding a ship of the line.
Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N : A ship of the line, sir?
Adm. Lord Hood : We're giving you a "74." A Frenchman we captured, renamed the SUTHERLAND. The LYDIA's crew'll be transferred to her.
Capt. Horatio Hornblower, R.N : I'm extremely grateful, m'lord.
Adm. Lord Hood : You'll be attached to Leighton's squadron... And now, gentlemen, the confounded war. I think Napoleon has bitten off more than he can chew in the Spanish peninsula. The Duke of Wellington has a chance to defeat him, and bring victory to England, if we can maintain our naval blockade. But not a single French ship must sail. That's up to you.
