Kinda took the edge off it for me. Especially given all the time devoted to Napier. It was the 31 hull that made Bertram. They owe their success to Hunt and Richard as far as I'm concerned, and if Richard was still alive, he'd be the first to give credit to Hunt.

Two problems here:

The first is when a company history is done by the company itself and not by an independant source.

And second when it comes to remembering history correctly, the Italians come up short.
