Retirement of Admiral Beresford From Channel Fleet
The retirement of Admiral Lord Charles Beresford from the channel fleet command causes a political naval stir in Britain. He is viewed as a strong figure in naval and world affairs, with ties to the United States, and his departure follows a clash with Sir John Fisher. The march 24 vacancy shifts Milne's second division under May, signaling Beresford’s half pay retirement after a noted career including the 1882 Alexandrian bombardment.
