the royal navy. ha. let's talk about them. 270 war ships. how many have the americans got? >> none. >> thank you, france. all right. but yeah. we don't have -- this is going to be a -- this is one of the reasons why we will not engage on the high seas because we know we can't win there. all right? but the navy is also hugely important for transport. they can get supplies. they can move men and materiel. they can get all sorts of things different places and what not. and, yeah. this is definitely something that's in their side that there is no way we can catch up to them. anything else? >> they sort of have kind of the offensive initiative. >> they are working, playing offense. okay. and they're going there. they have to subdue a continent. we'll talk about that. nevertheless they have the might on their side. what else? other things? >> they have more training. >> lots of training. goes back to your officer corps. they've also got, going along with that, contingent with your royal navy, the army. 55,000 soldiers strong. again, very good at what they do. one of the great thi

yes, they are able to use their west indies where the royal navy comes in. nevertheless, it's a long way back to england for orders. okay? think back to before general gauge, who's stuck in boston. what do i do now? well, he's got to wait for that. same thing with supplies. see this several times where things, they're going to have to pull back because they need to make sure they have an exit strategy. other things we're not thinking about? okay. all military stuff. i get that. also you need to remember they've got -- a government. and an economy. both of which that can support a long-term military operation. all right. again, what do the colonies got? a bunch of assemblies, and just threw out all of their governors. good luck with that. the declaration of independence, read it, voted on it. don't remember reading about a government there. just a list why king george is a bad guy. so meanwhile, again, these guys, they have hundreds of years doing this, folks. they know what they're doing. they're ready to go. game on as far as their group is concerned. now b

the man that i mentioned is in fact are a driver of that royal navy seek captains plantation. he has a position of authority over other on behalf of the oversea implants are. but yet if he decides to turn on the oversea implants are using the authority granted by them to actually organize a rebellion, that plantation might be quickly lost. so there's got to be a careful negotiation between the owner, or the overseer, and that person of authority who is enslaved. you have to get special favors right? an independent house, access to the implements and tools for hunting. right, knives and sometimes even guns. and so you are trusting they are so keen to protect their access to the special favors, that they will continue to remain aligned with you rather than align with the master slavers paired with that the linguistic divisions help. you would like to keep that 90% of the population divided among themselves, and offer some special favors for people who are going to keep help you keep control of that's you can manage her situation. more directly. >> a lot of them had kane knives a

that if their ships try to access british waters they'll deploy the royal navy to keep them out searching the stage for a confrontation on the high seas we have increased a. question the u.k. is currently in a so-called transition period in the gauche a should have begun which will determine what kind of deal the u.k. will leave with the end of december this year but when it comes to fishing the 2 sides are still far apart in the months the u.k. wants the e.u. to follow british law and for negotiations to take place annually similar to an agreement they have with norway they you however wants to have a long term agreement with quotas on fishing missy uses the deficit tree warned the e.u. against trying to use fisheries as a negotiating chip while the french of hit back saying they're more than ready to get nasty if the u.k. isn't willing to play ball all we played with emotion was drama was passion with symbols and we know how to make it a very i think about both sides both sides very nice about them playing nasty could mean the french blockading channel ports and some british fishermen s

protected 16000 galleons were already protecting dutch commercial ships while the 3000 light and fast royal navy cruisers terrify their adversaries france paled in comparison to these armada as. each nation needed a fortress in africa if it were to compete in the atlantic race just like on the caribbean islands these forts were the bastions of the trying. are treated. as military bases they offered a secure store for bartered goods and captives before departure by scene. in less than 80 years 43 such forts were built from senegal to the niger delta every stone every being every element of masonry was transported by boat from europe with. most of these fortresses they were built by states individual capitalists or even groups of trading capitalists did not have that kind of money in order to build those sorts of fortresses the english already had 13 the dutch 10 the danish 5 even the prussians with their 3 forts surpassed the french on the gold coast in today's gonna the fantail and ashanti rented europeans plots of land to build their forts the europeans established trading posts and fortresses

. >> how did the colonies react to the buildup of british troops in the royal navy in boston after 74? >> they didn't react so much to the buildup of troops as they reacted to the closing of boston harbor. they definitely reacted to the blockade of boston. they sent money. they sent applies area and some people in connecticut sent a herd of sheep that were driven into boston. so that they could be slaughtered and people could eat my. they were, other colonies were helpful in open, in getting boston assistance. in the blockade, but it wasn't really so much about the buildup of troops as it was assistance to boston which really needed the assistance. i might add however that it became controversial because rumors spread. this is a period great rivers, we think rumors are great today but they are also being there that boston at least were glomming on to the money being sent to them from other colonies and were using it for their own purposes. that is a were hiring local workers to work on their properties instead ofdoing public works or something like that . it became controversial. the

how to use signals intelligence and we have the same problem and -- in britain with the british royal navy. the admiralty did not know how to use signals intelligence. they were being told things, but it was just another piece of intelligence and we will treated treat it like all of the other stuff. they did not realize you could treat it as being on a higher plane than human intelligence. i think that is what went wrong. but those generals are not here to answer for their conduct. most of them disappeared into obscurity after the fall of france and i don't think they were regarded as national heroes and nobody wanted to speak to them. so we don't know. >> could you possibly explain in more detail how and when the polish contributions became known to the general public, and what was the role of the polish military historians and his personal interactions? mr. turing: it's easy to answer your question in a negative sense. there was a polish historian who was writing about polish military intelligence between the wars period. he was researching, this was in the 1960's. he was researching in

back to the royal navy in the 1600s, but typically from each coast, the mercy and comfort will take onood will missing -- goodwill missions so get the crew on board. the comfort just got back from a goodwill trip to the caribbean. you pull into port and provide free medical care for anybody who needs it as part of an outreach program the dod and state department put together. mercy out of the west coast will do a similar operation in the south and western pacific to bring a goodwill response. you have the diplomatic effort from the u.s. to show goodwill some other places, and at the same time you sharpen the skills of these folks who need to get activated in the event of wartime. once a year they go out and do a mission and come back in. host: how long will these ships stay and could others be mobilized? guest: yet to be determined how long the ships will be there. mercy still hasn't pulled into los angeles yet, so once they get there, they will get an idea of how best they can be used. comfort is slated to leave early next month. we are not clear. in terms of other capabilities the na

it is rams royal blue and son. no more navy and gold and white. it up. the reviews are not good. apparently ran fans do not like it, and i have to agree with them. >>> can you believe it, tonight would've been the first game of the bay bridge series and oakland. giants and the a's. instead, we have no choice and we just have to look back as to what happened in this day in sports, march 23. >> they were happy in phoenix on this day in 1993. doc rivers ignited a brawl that it's brewed between the teams all day. in 1994, wayne gretzky became the game's all-time goals leader. wayne gretzky told her they hundred 94 goals before retiring. in 1968, luau center led ucla over and the a basketball championship. a junior guard by the nation is stefan curry led davidson into the sweet 16 over second-seeded georgetown. and in 1991, a russian polevault or set an indoor record clearing 23 feet and 9/10 evidence. that is this day in sports, march 23. in case you missed it, we are still at it. how about the bay area own steph curry? he's probably a little bored, b
