Drach, on your answer for Lord Anson RE: Byng, I'm reminded of your thoughtful answer on Admiral Craddock on Drydock #138. I don't know how Anson acted AFTER Majorca, which is very important (and could change my judgement), but at least BEFORE Majorca I think of Anson the same way as you judged Craddock: Anson did the best he could with what he had and what he knew. He may have fallen into the mental trap of 'indispensable' (perhaps moreso after Majorca) but that may be looking through the lens of the historians over the years.
