    An exceptional scene by all the actors involved. Matt Smith is amazing here. You can see the wheels moving in his eyes as the dialogue unfolds. He recognizes each move in the conversation, knowing there is an escalated response until he nods to the other officer at the bar, signaling to all that the checkmate has arrived.
    Watch this scene with the sound off. Watch the eyes of each actor. Pay attention to the actor smoking at the bar. Nothing is lost without the sound. The physical layer carries it all through, reinforcing it with each subtle movement.

    And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the difference between 'leading' and 'managing'. By every account I've heard of, Phillip was an effective commander of warships in the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian and Pacific Oceans. There is a huge difference between the get-dirty troops [generic term for all services] and the born-to-be-middle-management types at the corporation level. You serve WITH the first and you serve UNDER the second.

      I was privileged to know the broadcaster and writer William Holt in his later years. He knew Prince Philip personally and spoke highly of his no-nonsense approach to how a man should behave. He was an achiever who didn't stand on ceremony and instinctively knew what was the right thing to do, so while this event may or may not have actually happened, I think it's a good example of how he might have reacted to the situation.

      As I understand it, there is a lot more leeway in the RN about what goes on in the officer's mess than in the USN. The tradition is for the mess to be 'open air arena' for discussions, disputes, and social maneuvering that a system with social classes like the UK seems to require. Supposedly, it's not unusual for fairly junior officers to call out their leadership or demand explanations that would be career-ending in the USN. If all that is true, then it's there's a possibility that this conversation may well have happened in front of 'God and everybody'.
      A pissing match like this could have been that CO's semi-official notice that he wasn't getting knighted and he may as well turn his retirement papers in as soon as they get ashore.

    • @lcplaztec
      @lcplaztec 8 месяцев назад +56

      It's a little bit more complicated than that. Phillip's rank of Admiral of the Fleet was granted to him when Elizabeth was crowned Queen, and it was technically in the Royal New Zealand Navy, not THE Royal Navy. Prior to that, his highest rank in active service was Commander. Not only that, long standing tradition is that the Captain of a ship is the absolute final word, regardless of rank. While a higher rank can issue an order to that Captain, refusal to follow it wouldn't in practice constitute an automatic crime of failing to follow a direct order ESPECIALLY in a non-critical situation like this. In fact, the higher rank would lose a ton of respect for usurping the tradition of command.
      Phillip is basically saying that he knows that he is unable to usurp command because of tradition (all the moreso because his "real" rank is less than the admiral's) and still be considered in the right, so he is *strongly suggesting* that the Admiral commanding THE Royal Vessel do the thing that his wife, the monarch, would probably want done.

      Obviously, it was one of many royal appointments Philip has taken on since he became Prince Consort. As monarch, QE2 could make such appointment to anyone she wished to, i.e. most senior members of the Royal Family. The promotion of Admiral of the Fleet for flag officers who were active during wartime existed as a convention. For Philip, it was a consolation prize for his now-non-existent naval career when Elizabeth became Queen, and him becoming Prince Consort.

      The Royal Navy Regularly promoted Flag-Officers to the Rank of “Admiral of the Fleet” up until 1995.
      Prince Phillip held the Rank in substantive I.e. officially with all the power, authority and privileges there In, so as far as any Officer in His/Her Majesty's Armed Forces is concerned, he is the Admiral of the Fleet.
      He could of issued an official order to the Admiral and he would both legally and politically have no choice but to follow it.

    No evidence such a scene ever happened, one of the liberties of a tv show. 1. The Prince would of had this conversation in private quarters not in front of other men, fictionalized of course for TV, 2. Vice-Admiral Sir Conolly Abel Smith had a distinguished military career, serving in both world wars , he was onboard HMS Courageous when it was sunk by a German U-Boat, losing half the ship's crew, served in command positions on carriers and mentioned in dispatches. This scene makes it look like he did nothing but desk work, of course a dead man cannot defend himself from the writers of a tv drama.

      Agreed.
      My father was a WW2 submarine officer on HMS Torbay,
      with a DSC and MiD,
      and commanded HMS Tactician off Korea in that war,
      so even though I took to the army side of the family,
      part of my mindset's edcation
      is drawn from Royal Naval College Dartmouth,
      where my father went aged 13 in 1936.
      Prince Phillip was 2 years older.

      Also the boats are too small to be the Montague whalers used by the RN at that time and are in the wrong livery for use on the RY (should be dark Britannia blue). And the ensigns would be worn at the stern, not the bow. I suspect the film company borrowed a few rowing boats from another production (possibly Outlander or Banished), and hoped nobody would spot the 18th century anachronisms.
