Most notably under the reign of King George II, the Royal Navy was charged by the Crown with keeping peace, protecting the shipping lanes, and most important, capturing pirates. Unfortunately for the Crown, some Navy officers weren't as honest as perhaps they should be.

  • The British Royal Navy, often referred to as His Majesty's Royal Navy, the King's Navy, or simply the Royal Navy, was the naval armed force of the British Empire. Most notably under the reign of King George II, the Royal Navy was charged by the Crown with keeping peace, protecting the shipping lanes, and most important, capturing pirates. Unfortunately for the Crown, some Navy officers weren't as honest as perhaps they should be. At its height, the British Navy was the most powerful navy on the Seven Seas, primarily based in the Caribbean. The Caribbean was as corrupt as it was beautiful, and it has proven easy to grow lax so far from home. Instead of protecting civilians, many Navy officials extort gold under the pretense of "taxes" and generally oppress anyone they thought they could push around. Some officers and guards could be bribed, while others turn their heads when crimes were committed. But all Navy personnel were still formidable fighters in the King's name. As its influence grew in the Caribbean, the East India Trading Company employed Royal Navy marines and ships to escort its vessels and defend against any attacks.
