Italian night fighting is described as competent, while British preparation receives a separate explanation. The German fleet's escape after Jutland is presented as a lasting institutional grievance. Repeated attention to that problem over the following two decades concentrated British training and expenditure on night combat. The result is described as capability extending through every level of the fleet. The comparison attributes different specialisms to wartime experience rather than a simple technological hierarchy.
