Admiral Sir George King-Hall said the Royal Navy was never in a more perfect state of discipline than it is to-day. The devotion of officers and men to their duty was never greater. The Royal Navy was never more alert, never more ready for anything than it was to-day. There was no doubt the old Latin proverb was true to-day as ever: "If you wish for peace be prepared for war."
