Steen Andersen Bille (1751–1833)
Steen Andersen Bille (1751–1833)〔Translated and abridged from the Danish〕〔Additional material from Topsøe-Jensen Vol I pages 130 – 133〕 was a successful Danish naval officer and a member of the Bille family. He rose to the rank of Admiral and became a Privy Counselor during the period of Denmark's policy of "armed neutrality" following the Gunboat War with Britain.〔The Gunboat War was part of the Napoleonic Wars, which the Danes refer to as the English Wars.〕 He was instrumental in the rebuilding of the Danish Navy after 1814.
==Early life==
Steen Andersen Bille was born on 22 August 1751 in Assens, on the Funen coast of the Little Belt, where his father Rear Admiral Daniel Ernst Bille was then stationed. Steen Andersen Bille became a cadet at the age of eleven, despite being of poor physique, having already experienced a trial voyage in the previous year.
In 1765, as a cadet, Bille was in the frigate ''Hvide Ørns'' when storms and contrary winds held the ship in the Baltic for so long that it was feared the ship would founder – prayers were said in churches around the land for the ship's safety (to good effect, seemingly). As one of the most able cadets of his year, he was promoted to Junior Lieutenant on 16 March 1768, serving then, and again in 1773, in the ship-of-the-line ''Norske Løve'' under his father's command.
On 22 March 1773 he was promoted to Senior Lieutenant. In 1775 he had an independent armed command in the merchant ship ''Mercurius'' preventing smuggling to enforce control measures against an outbreak of Rinderpest (Cattle Plague) in Schleswig Holstein.
