Admiral. That part of a warship which does the talking while the figurehead does the thinking.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The head of a ship however has not always an immediate relation to her name, at least in the British navy.
The American President resembles the commander of a ship at sea. He must have a helm to grasp, a course to steer, a port to seek.
The admiral, or commander in chief of a squadron, being frequently invested with a great charge, on which the fate of a kingdom may depend, ought certainly to be possessed of abilities equal to so important a station and so extensive a command.
No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy.
I have the mouth of a sailor.
I'd always thought that, in all the great sci-fi constructs, there's always the guy who seems like he's the commander, but then you reveal that there's an even bigger puppet master up above and beyond him.
Hence a ship is said to head the sea, when her course is opposed to the setting or direction of the surges.
Another nice thing was that I would type out letters home for the admiral's stewards. They would then feed me the same food the admiral ate.
I swear like a sailor.
A captain who does not know where he wants to sail, there is no wind on Earth that will bring him there.
