Specialists can be misassigned at every naval rank

The wrong-job problem also applies to captains and technical specialists. A career cruiser officer might be assigned to destroyers, or a mine-warfare specialist placed in charge of a battleship, despite years spent building expertise elsewhere. HMS Dreadnought's ramming of a submarine supplies a joke in favor of the second appointment, although the argument is deliberately thin. The examples extend the video's central test beyond celebrated fleet admirals. A sound appointment matches accumulated experience to the actual demands of the ship or formation.
