"A Royal Naval Squadron of the Red Offshore in a Heavy Swell" is an 18th century marine oil painting by the British artist Charles Brooking. Created in 1759, the artwork represents a significant composition illustrating the Naval and maritime period of the mid 1700s, intended to capture the British naval power during the era. Brooking, noted for his prowess in marine painting, expertly portrays the mood and atmosphere by capturing the naval fleet against a backdrop of towering waves and a tumultuous sky. The painting focuses on the fleet sailing away, giving prominence to the dramatic seascape.

The choice of colours in the artwork, rich reds and deep blues, produces a chiaroscuro effect, which is further emphasized by the light breaking through the heavy clouds. The intricacy of the ships, their sails, rigging and pennants, is meticulously detailed and presents the viewer with a true-to-life representation of the British naval fleet of the time. The "Squadron of the Red" refers to a specific ranking system within the British Royal Navy, with "Red" indicating a high-ranking fleet. The depiction of this squadron against the tumultuous ocean serves to evoke a sense of resilience and strength of the Royal Navy at the time.

"A Royal Naval Squadron of the Red Offshore in a Heavy Swell" is considered a significant work in Brooking's oeuvre; its detailed execution and the atmosphere of intensity inherent in the composition exemplify his leading place among the marine painters of his time. It is not only a piece of art, but also a historical document showcasing British maritime superiority in the 18th century.
