As for tribalism, some more than others. I'm struggling to recall any acts of favouritism shown by recent CDSs.
If the RN really is/are "put out" then tough. Deal with it. The future of the Armed Forces and getting "it" right is far more important. As for rotating, thank God that's over. It would be a bit like rotating Government between the parties, just to make it "fair". Or insisting that 50% of board members have to be women, regardless of their suitability.
Get over it.
