The Moment That Made Me | Captain Ryan Ramsay

[@Peter70539]

A remarkable officer who has a great, well earned, reputation. Teacher to a lot of British and international Submarine commanders

[@tonystevens9278]

A good intterview. It is interesting how a career can progress with excellent input from a really insightful & supportive boss. The converse is of course true too.

[@peaceandlove3867]

Good questions and expressive, humble replies. Congratulations.

Wish he had been my Jimmy on Resolution.

James mentions that Ryan has discussed his command of Turbulent before, in particular about the heating incident, is there more interview content from Ryan somewhere online?

[@lonpfrb]

Interesting to hear about career and leadership impact on it. Slightly unexpected that Ryan no longer serves because that suggests it didn't progress to more senior command or leadership...

Well Ryan it took 23:21 for you to explain the simple equation to success that Learnt in 1954 in the R.A.F....."What can I do today better than yesterday.... to make this Sqdn Better". In it's wisdom the R.N. was moving you sideways because you were not fit to command a Submarine because you were maintaining a 'standard' without "Improving on the standard" to the benefit and Understanding of your Crew..... To this end your Crew would have fully understood in the circumstances why the Air conditioning breakdown was "Tuff Titties"..... Your story sounds to me like a "Boys Own" Officer full of Dreams of grandeur being seconded ( putting them out to pasture)to an exchange posting and coming back with Rose Tinted Glasses.
