Fisher described the Naval Secretary's position as, "an ideal arrangement. He has the power, he pulls the strings, he has no position, he causes no jealousy, he talks to all the Lords as their servant, and he manipulates them all and oils the machine for his special master, the First Lord, to perpetrate a job when necessary!"[1]
