Hattendorf: The Idea of a “Fleet in Being” in Historical Perspective THE IDEA OF a “FLEET IN BEING” IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE John B. Hattendorf he phrase “fleet in being” is one of those troublesome terms that naval his- torians and strategists have tended to use in a range of different meanings. TThe term first appeared in reference to the naval battle off Beachy Head in 1690, during the Nine Years’ War, as part of an excuse that Admiral Arthur Herbert, first Earl of Torrington, used to explain his reluctance to engage the French fleet in that battle. A later commentator pointed out that the thinking of several Brit- ish naval officers ninety years later during the War for American Independence, when the Royal Navy was in a similar situation of inferior strength, contributed an expansion to the fleet-in-being concept.

Press Release
HM GOVERNMENT OF GIBRALTAR PRESS OFFICE No.6 Convent Place Gibraltar Tel:20070071; Fax: 20043057 PRESS RELEASE No: 8/2014 Date: 7th January 2014 CHIEF MINISTER’S NEW YEAR MESSAGE Good evening I hope you have had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year period with your families. Whatever your personal beliefs it is family that makes the festive season so special. For Justine and me it has been great to watch Sebastian enjoy opening presents and saying his first words. Indeed, 2013 has been in great measure an excellent year for Gibraltar. Despite the huge debt burden and the £100m hole we found that the GSD had left in the Government companies, you have seen your Government deliver outstanding economic performance, including our brilliant GDP growth of almost 8%, our record high surplus and our shrinking gross and net debt. Our useable cash reserves increased dramatically from approximately £2m at the end of the GSD’s last financial year in office to £85m whilst at the same time there have been tax cuts and increased allowances. In sport, our footballers have finally been recognised as part of the European football family, something which has made all of us very proud indeed. We enjoyed an excellent National Day that many described as "the best ever" with Prime Minister David Cameron going further than any UK government minister has before when he said that we should keep Gibraltar British. Music to the ears of all Gibraltarians! What a great day that was. A huge amount of work has also already been done in respect of our existing housing estates.
