Avalon's fleet rejects reveal a peacetime navy

Avalon's rejected crew and its navy's peacetime habits invite a comparison with the Victorian Royal Navy.

Notes

Avalon's crew consists of fleet rejects sent on a final voyage. Their performance calls other officers' judgments into question. The fictional navy fought a massive war before settling into peacetime service. Its Home Fleet and personnel arrangements invite a comparison with the Victorian Royal Navy.
