You don’t mention the greatest of all Royal Navy/Napoleonic Wars series, the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O’Brian. A must read for any fan of the genre.
I liked the Hornblower books well enough, but I preferred the ones earlier in the chronology that were written later. There’s also a good series by Alexander Kent, the Bolitho series. However, I abandoned the first Lewrie book; I couldn’t get into that at all. IIRC, I thought it was sensational for the sake of being sensational.
