@217.42.197.217, Excellent! Thank you! We were looking for something like this!

The evidence you provided pretty much is the nail in the coffin for this. Warspite is using a more archaic pronunciation of admiral as a shout out towards 16th century Britain. A highly interesting era in the British Isles if I don't say so myself.
