I don't want to clutter the GA review so I'll pose this question here. Does Burt actually say that Fisher was "Commander-in-Chief" at the Fleet Review? If so, he's wrong. The Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth, Admiral Sir Nowell Salmon, flew his flag in the Renown. Fisher was still Third Sea Lord and Controller of the Navy at the time.
Thanks for pointing these out, Simon. Burt says "served as Flagship, CinC (Vice-Admiral J. A. Fisher)) at Spithead... He also refers to the ship temporarily attached to "1st Division, Channel Fleet" the following month. I'll change Fisher to Salmon.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:25, 21 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
