How does the Royal Navy's organisation (command chain, promotion, conscripting, etc.) differ from the Spanish Succession and the Napoleonic Wars?

Hi there! To clarify your question, are you asking how the Royal Navy's internal organization changed over the period between the Wars of the Spanish Succession on into the Napoleonic period? Or how its rank and manning structure differed from that of the Spanish and French navies?
