A comparison between Beatty and Kirk leads to a preference for Janeway as an analogue for Jellicoe. Engineering ability, managing an independent force and maintaining alternatives drive the comparison. Picard's dependence on one set of Martian shipyards becomes the example of a plan exposed to the loss of a single facility. An imagined Janeway plan distributes construction among three yards so that work continues after one is lost. This is a personal reading of fictional characters used to discuss command habits and production resilience.
