After doing well in Russo-Turkish service, Greig becomes chief commander at Kronstadt while the port is receiving new docks and other expansion. His Royal Navy dockyard experience gives him useful knowledge for turning construction into fleet readiness. He then directs the seagoing Baltic Fleet in the Russo-Swedish War, where Russia's stronger ships and support system reduce the need for tactical novelty. Solid coordination and the discipline not to squander a material advantage are enough. Mass and infrastructure often win more safely than a brilliant plan or a supposed wonder weapon.
