The simulation supplies a clear tactical mistake: Tiger could evade torpedoes at range, but closing and slowing reduced warning time. That outcome demonstrates individual target fixation rather than a fatal flaw in the ship design. A formation adds an admiral and other captains who can challenge a poor choice, share experience, and keep one unit's judgement inside the task-group plan. That command function matters especially to small navies, whose limited number of ships makes the design and discipline of each task group critical.

Command structure restrains tactical fixation
Tiger's simulated torpedo loss illustrates why an admiral and several captains provide checks against one commander's dangerous fixation on a target.
