Well, yah. Which Forester book was it with Wellington's niece and the pearl-divers? There was an incompetent doctor in there somewhere, if memory serves -this possibly more typical of the times than someone of T. H. Huxley's capabilities being onboard, as in M&C.
Anyway, O'Brian or Forester-inspired, it'd be nice to see this sort of supermod, I guess, take shape.
