The story

In January 1793, 17-year-old midshipman Horatio Hornblower is assigned to his first posting, the ship of the line HMS Justinian. Hornblower is introduced to his shipmates, including his superior, Midshipman Jack Simpson, a bully quick to single him out for abuse and scorn. Hornblower embarrasses himself when he becomes seasick while the ship is at anchor in calm waters, and he finds life under Simpson unbearable.
