Admiral Sir Charles Wager PC (24 February 1666 – 24 May 1743) was a Royal Navy officer and politician who served as First Lord of the Admiralty from 1733 to 1742. Despite heroic active service and steadfast administration and diplomatic service, Wager can be criticized for his failure to deal with an acute manning problem.

Although British warship design was inferior to French in some respects, the real problem was an insufficiency of the versatile
