The admiral most disappointed by today's Royal Navy

Which historic Royal Navy admiral would be most disappointed by the state of the service today?

Reginald Henderson, because fleet construction and equipment were central to his work as Third Sea Lord.

The panel immediately chooses Reginald Henderson as the historic admiral most likely to be disappointed by the present Royal Navy. Henderson's work as Third Sea Lord centered on creating and equipping the fleet, so a small or under-resourced service would confront him with the failure of his own institutional specialty. John Fisher is offered as a contrast. Fisher would be more likely to react with anger or despair, while disappointment fits Henderson more precisely.
