Scattered light staining age tone light tone and light foxing.<br /> <br /> Appointed as Admiral of the Ottoman Navy in 1769 by 1770 Mandalzade Husamaddin Pasha had risen to the rank of High Admiral. On the heels of the longest period of peace with Europe 1747-1768 the first Russo-Turkish was raging and despite the fact that Husamaddin had inherited a weak and depleted Navy he was able to command his ships into a series of victories by capitalizing on Russia's deep financial strain. The forward progression wouldn't last long. Despite the fact that the Russian Navy had been in a lot of ways inferior to the Ottoman Navy and the Turkish forces had shorter supply lines and the ability to levy troops from their vassel state the Crimean Khanate the Russian Navy eventually opted to employ British officers to resolve their shortcomings. In addition relentless Russian destabilization of the area and brute action to undermine the government eventually destroyed the effectiveness of the Ottoman Navy. In 1774 the Ottoman Empire ceded two key seaports to Russia Azov and Kerch allowing the Russian Navy and merchant fleet direct access to the Black Sea. This war comprised but a small part of the continuous process of expansion of the Russian Empire which continued to bleed southwards and eastwards throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. unknown
