Marshal Tourville of the Navy, known for conducting the "Silver Altar Trials" and intense training regimes akin to "Mondays and Wednesdays, water; Thursdays and Fridays, metal," was a hawkish figure in the navy. He constantly stirred up trouble at the Navy Department, demanding the tearing up of the "Naval Armaments Control Treaty" and the construction of more warships. Every time he spoke, he began with, "The Charlemagne Navy must regard the Albion Royal Navy as its primary enemy and be ready to destroy it at all times…" However, he was also widely recognized as a cautious strategist and tactician, preferring fleet battles and valuing the so-called "fleet-in-being" strategy.
