Or find a copy of the "Naval Chronicle" from 1793-1815 and read of the RN folks during the Napoleonic wars...Hollywood couldn't do as well as those gents did!Go watch “Master and Commander,” with Russell Crowe. The Navy culture descends from that and earlier world-roving sea traditions - operating on the far side of the world, far from direct oversight, having to improvise on the fly, maintaining good order and discipline, knowing when you can joke with your crew, but also keeping a distance that allows for the exercise of authority.
And crank up your surround sound movie speakers (while having a care for auditory health) for the battle scenes and great soundtrack.
