Different warships reward different command personalities

Should all Allied light-cruiser and destroyer commands adopt the mentality of motor torpedo boat crews?

No; different ships attract and require different personalities, and forcing the same aggressive type into every command creates problems.

One aggressive coastal-force temperament would not suit every light cruiser and destroyer command. Different ship types and missions reward different combinations of judgment, patience, initiative, and appetite for risk. Naval services benefit when officers naturally gravitate toward platforms that suit their personalities and skills. Forcing every command into the same mold instead creates the organizational equivalent of putting a square peg into a round hole.
