What hindered Louis's progress in the Navy?

  • Lack of skills

  • Royal yacht tours

  • Poor health

  • Late enlistment

Answer

The frequent royal yacht tours that Louis XVI was required to attend as a member of the French royal family significantly impeded his naval advancements, as he was frequently diverted from his naval duties to participate in these ceremonial excursions for prolonged periods. This persistent disruption hindered his progress and opportunities for professional development within the naval ranks.
