A longer Tryon career gives Fisher an earlier reform base

How might Admiral George Tryon's longer survival have changed his importance to Royal Navy reform?

Tryon could have pushed initiative and reform further, giving Fisher a stronger foundation and making literal obedience to flawed orders a less acceptable excuse.

The answer presents reform as cumulative rather than the product of one famous admiral. If Tryon had lived, his movement toward initiative and change could have advanced further before Fisher's rise. Fisher would then inherit an established base and be able to push beyond it. A follow-up adds the doctrinal consequence: officers would find it harder to defend failure by claiming that they had followed the exact wording of their orders instead of exercising judgment.
