" Tight, clean and unmarked-" `The only weapon with which we can expect to cope with great nations is the Navy. I confess I do trust the Navy-' These words, spoken by Winston Churchill in the Spring of 190 I, could equally well have dated from any stage of his long and momentous parliamentary career.
