Chronologies for Naval Series

[sharpiefan]

I did this list a while ago on my own LJ, and I thought I'd post the updated version here. It's the chronological list of Aubreyad, Hornblower, Ramage, Bolitho and Drinkwater novels, with Peter Smalley and Dewey Lambdin books added for here. It's not an exhaustive list, by any means, merely including the most popular series. Cross-posted to anything_aos on LJ. For other series, you may like to refer to Astrodene's Historical Naval Fiction page.
