such a simple error! the Royal Navy Operations Manual clearly states
(paragraph 5, clause 17, chapter 23): "Under no circumstances shall any
entity with leaves be given command of an operational unit larger than a
section, unless Emergency Staffing Plan IX is in operation.". putting
vegetative matter in command of battle squadrons has been the downfall
of
many a fleet.
