There's another woman out there who loves Nelson's navy and dragons as much as I do, and she wrote a book about it. Naomi Novik imagines the Napoleonic wars as fought with ships and dragons. Actually, there are three books in the trilogy. I have to find the others. The first was lent to me by a kind friend who just showed up and handed me the book. I finished it in two days.
Of course if you don't like fantasy, this book isn't going to work for you. But if you fall into that part of the Venn diagram where the navy and dragons intersect -- as do I and Naomi and Misha, Naomi's friend who lent me the book -- you'll probably love it.
