Critique
| p. 7 | "A senior officer's little joke." | How does he know that Captain Arthur Craig was joking? |
| p. 10 | "Fisher was still loath to be diverted from his super-cruiser concept." | Reading far too much into Ruddock Mackay, Fisher of Kilverstone. |
| p. 12 | Topic of fire control. | Gordon reveals his complete ignorance of fire control. |
| p. 13 | Criticising battlecruisers "would have injured his professional prospects." | Carlyon Bellairs can hardly be called an expert on the career prospects of the Royal Navy. |
