re: #261 Joel

Operation Sea Lion had a couple of requirements before it could proceed.

(1) The defeat of the Royal Navy and (2) the RAF. The RAF (the Few, the Proud) won the Battle of Britain, and the Royal Navy, though battered, bloody, and stretched around the planet, remained in position to menace the Channel.

No sweat on your #260 strike through, understandable.
