...Arnold was a cynic, a word-juggler, a clown. With a background of Wyoming sheepherding, Princeton ('11) and Harvard Law ('14), he had returned from the war to help General Smedley Butler drive the prostitutes from New Orleans. Said he: "I didn't even make a dent in the town."

Elated that a direct bomb hit on the 6¼-in. deck armor of the Rodney produced only a dent, Admiralty circles pronounced the new ships "almost unsinkable" and Britain's answer to the Nazi air threat...
