Sloop Of War

For the young Richard Bolitho the spring of 1778 marked a complete transformation for himself and his future. It was the year in which the American War of Independence changed to an all-out struggle for freedom from British rule - and the year when Bolitho took command of the Sparrow, a small, fast and well-armed sloop of war.

Pentru tanarul Richard Bolitho, primavara anului 1778 a marcat o transformare completa pentru el si viitorul sau. A fost anul in care Razboiul de Independenta american s-a schimbat intr-o lupta totala pentru eliberarea de sub dominatia britanica - si anul in care Bolitho a preluat comanda Sparrow, un mic, rapid si bine inarmat sloop de razboi.
