Part 6/9:
As the conversation continues, Nelson shows curiosity about current naval technology like radar systems—“Ray something”—and electrical devices stored in the ship's armory, including an odd flashlight or device. He humorously questions the purpose of small cannons or "little cannons" on a naval vessel, amusingly comparing collecting or placing them on a desk with historical figures like Horatio Hornblower.
The dialogue also touches on the absurdity of some equipment, with mentions of "loose screws" under the bonnet, and the narrator expressing confusion over modern terminology. Nelson's confusion is met with a mock serious attitude about how these innovations could impact naval operations, resonating with a sense of awe peppered with bemusement.
