Scope and Contents
Letter from Admiral of the Fleet 1st Lord Fisher [Grand Hotel National, Lucerne, Switzerland] to WSC, suggesting a meeting aboard HMS Enchantress [Admiralty Yacht] in December, combining it with visits to the Royal Naval College at Dartmouth and the Engineering School at Plymouth [Devon]; also on senior Naval appointments, advising WSC to get rid of Rear-Admiral Charles Briggs, 3rd Sea Lord and Controller of the Navy, describing him a "servile copyist"; stating that it was scandalous that the Royal Navy was behind the "whole world" in internal combustion propulsion, the first time in sea history that the Royal Navy had not led the way.
