Are there parallels between the Army of Tennessee and the German High Seas Fleet?
Short answerYes. Similar command problems also appeared in the British Battlecruiser Fleet.
NotesThe brief comparison links a Civil War field army to naval organizations whose internal relationships also created operational problems. In each case, nominally capable officers and formations struggled to cooperate through an effective command system. Germany's High Seas Fleet provides one useful parallel. The British Battlecruiser Fleet offers another example of internal command relationships shaping performance.
