In the earliest times Of the British
navy there was practically no dlstinc.
ton between the merchantmen and the
man-ofwar. In the rare times of peace
men-of-war traded as merchantmen.
while merchantmen always went arm
ed. Thus in time of war the trader be.
came the warshp and vice versa.
From the time Of the conquest and
probably earlier down to the days of
Elizabeth this was the ordinary prac-
tice. Elizabeth hired out ships of the
navy for all sorts Of purposes from
piracy to slave trading, taking her
share Of the profits when the venture
was successful and disclaiming all re-
sponsibility when it wasn't.
Henry Ill, who may he described as
the originator of the navy as special
fighting force. hired out the ships spo-
clally built for the navy in times of
peace and even allowed them to be
taken away from their appointed sta
tons provided that the hircrs deposited
due security for the return Of the ships
with their tackle and all equipment in
4 proper state Of efficiency. The prac-
ticc ceased after the repulse OF tic
Spanish armada. when the fighting
ship as such. became distinct from tl,,
