This point is first reflected in publishing and distribution.
All Royal Navy vessels must collect the latest naval charts and Nautical Almanac from the Hydrographic Office before setting sail.
These charts cover not only the coastal waters of Britain but also the Caribbean Sea, Indian Ocean, Pacific Islands, and even the complex waters of South America and Southeast Asia.
As the Deputy Director, Eld has the authority to determine which batches of charts are prioritized for printing, which nautical materials are delayed in publication, and can even influence secretly which captains receive complete information before sailing, and who must rely on old editions.
