Letter from Admiral of the Fleet 1st Lord Fisher, (Hotel Excelsior, Naples [Italy]), to WSC [First Lord of the Admiralty] criticising him for appointments of Admiral Sir Hedworth Meux [earlier Hedworth Lambton], [as Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth], Admiral Sir Berkeley Milne [as Commander-in- Chief, Mediterranean], and Admiral Sir Reginald Custance. Fisher states that WSC had betrayed the Royal Navy with these three appointments, that Milne was unfitted to be Senior Admiral afloat, and Admiral Sir Edmund Poe should have been appointed to Portsmouth [Hampshire]; also commenting on warship design and construction.
