What would Nelson do if placed in command of the Grand Fleet in World War I?
Short answerHe would probably maintain the distant blockade because Jellicoe's strategic approach was already correct.
NotesNelson is expected to retain the Grand Fleet's distant blockade. Jellicoe's basic decisions are defended, with his limited information traced to failures among his subordinates. Replacing him would not repair that flow of reports. Nelson historically had Collingwood, so giving him Beatty instead would change the command relationship on which the comparison depends.
