A disgruntled Admiral indignantly told Churchill(First Lord of the Admiralty) he was scuttling the tradition of the Royal Navy. Gretton wrote that Churchill answered:
“Don’t talk to me about naval tradition. It’s nothing but rum, buggery and the lash.” Langworth says that Montague-Browne personally told him that he had asked Churchill about the quote.
According to Montague-Browne, Churchill responded: “I never said it. I wish I had.”
