Nicholas Ramage
The joy of the Ramage novels is the interplay between Ramage himself and the lower deck. This does involve a regular cast of characters who follow him from ship to ship in a manner which was probably becoming a little anachronistic when the stories were set.

Author Dudley Pope was also an acknowledged expert on naval matters and some of his non fiction works are included on this page. See the link on the right for the novels.
