The key points seem to be
1. Views on Blue Fox seem to be massively divergent - was it that bad or was it the experience and set up that made the difference to Sharkey's team ?
2. Most view on the air leadership on Hermes seems to be that is a bit dire - is there any official after action review that reaches a view on this?
Do any of you know further reading or would be willing to share your views ?
I'm part way through Pook's book and he certainly doesn't hold back on his disdain for navy senior officers.
