Fisher's repeated resignation threats

Was Fisher forced out rather than resigning as First Sea Lord?

The reply argues that he submitted a resignation expecting another rejection, and the government instead accepted it.

Fisher is portrayed as using resignation threats to obtain concessions. Three earlier rejections are followed by acceptance, raising the question of whether he resigned voluntarily or was effectively pushed out. In that interpretation, the government's decision ended a tactic that had previously succeeded. His intention and the government's response both matter when assessing how his tenure ended.
