Horatio Nelson- Admirals always get overshadowed by Generals in these discussions
Nelson is without doubt the greatest naval commander of all times.
Admirals actions less important? I know you are not trying to be offensive but I do take offense to that-
And you ever heard the phrase "he who rules the sea rules the world?" Think of the British Empire- think of how WWI started out of a shipbuilding competition between Britain and Germany- look at how the USA now controls the world's waters...
Genghis Khan diidn't need a navy since he conquered only land but since the 18th century I believe there is nothing more important then seapower.
