Notes
1 Harley, ‘The promotion of David Beatty’, 213–6.
2 Beatty had served under Winsloe in the Cruiser Squadron in 1902, Harley, ‘The promotion of David Beatty’, 215. However, none of Beatty's biographers list Winsloe in the indexes of their books, and the admiral is not mentioned during this era in Beatty's published correspondence, either.
3 Seligmann, ‘Naval history by conspiracy theory’, 969–70.
4 Roskill, Earl Beatty, 322–39.
5 For a thorough discussion on the realist, interpretative and post-structural paradigms in management history, see Vaara and Lamberg, ‘Taking historical embeddedness seriously’, 633–57.
6 In fact, Winsloe was not responsible for promotions in any way. Harley states that First Lord McKenna was specifically responsible for all promotions, referring to two documents from Jan. 1904 and May 1910, respectively; Harley, ‘The promotion of David Beatty’, 215.
7 Harley, 215.
8 Harley, ‘The promotion of David Beatty’, 214. However, Harley recognized that both Ranft, ‘Beatty, David, 1st Earl Beatty (1871–1936)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography and Lambert, Admirals, 344, credited Beatty's promotion to Battenberg's positive (and missing) report to the Admiralty.
9 Chatfield, The Navy and Defence, 84.
10 Hough, Louis and Victoria, 194–8.
11 That is, McKenna, Fisher, Sir Francis Bridgeman, and Sir John Jellicoe; Chalmers, Life and Letters, 104. It is to be noted that Chalmers omitted Winsloe from this list for one reason or another.
12 Chalmers, Life and Letters, 104–5.
13 Roskill, Earl Beatty, 43.
14 Bell, ‘Contested Waters’, 115–126.
15 For instance, Ross, Admiral Sir Francis Bridgeman, 76, 121; Hough, Louis and Victoria, 193.
16 Tikkanen, ‘Favoritism Is the Secret of Efficiency!’, 253–75.
17 Rodger, ‘Patronage or Competence’, 237–48; Davison, Challenges of Command, 10, 15–6.
18 Freeman, The Great Edwardian Naval Feud; Penn, Infighting Admirals.

22 Lambert, ‘Admiral Sir Arthur Knyvett- Wilson’, 36–7.
23 Marder, (ed.), Fear God and Dread Nought, 267–89.
24 As Filson Young remarks, ‘And it is interesting to note that of the three great naval reputations made in the war – those of Beatty, Tyrwhitt and Keyes – none of them was a Fisher man, or indeed belonged to any camp’, Young, With the Battle Cruisers, 3.
