Well for a start it wasn't very good.

>Terrible leadership
>Totally incapable of learning the most basic lessons
>Wasteful of men, ships and supply
>Constant lying about the operation situation
>A training plan ? Sounds dishonourable
>Convoy escort. That's a job for a present or lower cast.
>Spend 70% of the naval budget on 3 super battleships ? Sure that wont bite us in the ass.
>Constant infighting with the army often to the point of deliberate sabotage
>Wasteful replication of equipment, logistics and services with the army
>What do you mean we need fuel ?
>Make one plan and offer no contingences at all
>The war will be over in 16 months so no point development new weapons or systems
