Where Fisher and Beresford agreed

Seamen's pay and naval communications produced occasional agreement before rivalry again overtook cooperation.

Short answer

They found common ground on seamen's pay and some communications reforms, although Beresford later used even that cooperation to attack Fisher politically.
