This article is awful and needs completely rewriting. Any rewrite should use:

• The biography by Geoffrey Bennett,
• Beresford's books:
  • The Breakup of China,
  • The Betrayal, and
  • his two volume autobiography
• Various good sources on the internet listing the ships he served on
• I suppose you might want to use the book quoted about Battenberg - though Beresford's biography does not support the allegations
• Properly researched histories of the Navy such as Marder (not 'blog'-type books such as Massie, which lack adequate citations
