Alexander Bethell and Beatty's signals

The historical second-squadron commander, Archibald Moore, concentrated on Blücher instead of maintaining pursuit of the other German ships. A Queen Elizabeth attachment is imagined with a different senior officer, Vice Admiral Alexander Bethell. His former role as Director of Naval Intelligence and connection with the battleship programme make him the proposed candidate. The personality argument is that Bethell would be willing to question Beatty's flags or interpret them independently. He could therefore keep the force pursuing rather than repeat Moore's response. The assignment and behaviour are explicitly a theory about the altered command arrangement.
