His Majesty's Service Written by GinnyP (10/21/2010 5:00 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, MP as Political Satire - First Lord of the Admiralty, penned by Tarn

Thank you, Tarn, for posting this. I've read the entire Master and Commander series (I see one of your sources is related to Jack Aubrey) and it has given me a better understanding of the system as it relates to William, who was all too aware that his promotion would in all probability be based more on money than on merit.
