> Anyone know where the "Speed is life" quote came from? Some British admiral said either "speed is life" or "speed is armor" with reference to battlecruisers. My memory is muttering "David Fisher" but it doesn't sound very sure of itself; read up on Jutland and I imagine you'll find it. Need I point out that this admiral was wrong?
