Frustration with the fictional fleet prompts a real historical comparison to HMS Caesar at the Glorious First of June. The comparison points viewers to Captain Molloy's conduct as an example of a commander whose performance provoked exceptional anger. Lord Howe reportedly considered having Molloy executed at points, conveying the severity of the perceived failure. A later analogy gives the enemy Queen Charlotte's advantages while comparing the friendly ships' behavior with Caesar. The aside provides a compact lead into command accountability and uneven ship handling within an otherwise celebrated Royal Navy victory.
