=="Lord" Hood==
=="Lord" Hood==


I have a possible explanation to what Eric Nylund considers an anomaly in the title of Fleet Admiral Hood. Though I am unaware of the specifics, in present-day U.K., military officers who are knighted are entitled to use the honorif "Sir" or "Lord" in their military title e.g. Sir Admiral Hood/ Lord Admiral Hood. As an American, it is quite likely that Nylund did not know this. The UNSC may not be all American as the rank structure suggests, it may be a blending of cultures (countries). Just a thought.

:Just realised this idea has been discussed above. Oh well, hope my contribution might shed some light on the issue.Manticore 10:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
----------------------------------------------
Just to clear this up for above mainly "Send to Nyland". Lord is a title it has nothing to do with being Knighted (which some senior British
Officers are)
The easiest way to think of it is similar to being a Barron, Duke or Earl
When knighted Sir becomes a part of your name sort of replacing Mr/Mrs and so on
If you wanted to cram it all in it would be “Fleet Admiral Lord Sir Terrence Hood”
So as he has two British titles he’s probably British
And isn’t it obvious that the United Nations Space Command would include more than just America? --[[User:Climax Viod|<b><span style="color: Red">Climax-Void</span></b>]] File:Hammer sickle.png|35 px]] <sup>[[User talk:Climax Viod|<b><span style="color: Black">Chat</span></b>]] or [[Special:Contributions/Climax_Viod|<b><span style="color: Silver">My Contributions </span></b>]]</sup>
