Jackie Fisher, first Baron Fisher of Kilverstone, was born in Ceylon, the son of an English planter.
Fisher's efforts to implement his radical strategy were defeated, but not before he had secured the construction of large numbers of battle cruisers and submarines, fostered the development of improved gunnery matériel and oil propulsion, and influenced the strategic thinking of many senior officials, including that of Winston Churchill.
Fisher's successes were nonetheless remarkable, and his impact on naval policy greater than that of any contemporary.

 Origins of the Battlecruiser
As the first order of business, we have to go back before the "invention" of the battlecruiser by Jackie Fisher to understand what the roots of the type were; they were not quite the "New Testament" ships old Jackie liked to say they were.
Fisher's famous dictum, "Speed is armour" may well derive from his belief that advanced types of fire control gear then under development (by A.H. Pollen) would make it possible for the fast super-armored cruiser to stand off and destroy a slower, more heavily-protected enemy battleship at ranges where the battleship could not fire effectively.
An indication of Fisher's program may be seen in the fact that he managed to get three of these super-armored cruisers laid down after the first, eponymous DREADNOUGHT battleship was started.

 Jackie Brown
Jackie Brown starts off at a langorous pace, with flashes of Quentin Tarantino brilliance, including an excellent soundtrack, Samuel Jackson's unforgettable Uzi speech and great dialogue.
But while his bank balance may be haemorrhaging, he's refused to follow many a director's course of action and go for the big-budget, low-brow route of film-making.
While the moral majority 'tut' at the film's content, many fans are delighted that Jackie Brown still has lots of swearing, a little blood, no Mexican stand-offs, two-and-a-half hours of witty dialogue, guns, more swearing and a soundtrack to die for.

Jackie uses the different strengths of her teaching staff to assist looked after children in school — some are better at behaviour issues, others feel happier tackling their medical or emotional needs.
Teachers who come into contact with these children have "enough knowledge to support them," says Jackie, who stresses that while confidentiality must be maintained, her staff are "fully aware" of a child's home situation.
Above all, says headteacher Jackie, having a policy of inclusion in school is crucial for looked after children, whose desire to avoid standing out is potentially far greater than that of the average pupil.

 Law Blog - WSJ.com : "Jackie Fisher who are you Dreadnought"
According to a story in today’s New York Times, the answer was an “homage to Admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher,” who is widely credited with modernizing the British Navy in the early part of the last century.
“Jackie Fisher was England’s greatest admiral after Nelson, and was responsible for the creation of the Dreadnought, which was launched nearly exactly 100 years to the day of the start of the trial,” Judge Smith wrote in an e-mail message to the Times.
Fisher and his dreadnoughts played a large part in preventing German naval power from challenging the British fleet in WWI, so if you think the Allies’ victory in WWI was a good thing, Fisher was pretty important to it.
