Admiral Sir Sandy Woodwward was always positively out-spoken in support of the Royal Navy particularly since he retired in 1989. It was probably this forthright attitude that stopped him from making it into the House of Lords, as his peers did, and as is usually the norm for service personnel who reach his rank and equivalent.

 

Whatever his views, he served his couintry and for this alone he should be acknowledged.
