Actually, I think Peter is appallingly ill-suited to the Navy, and it's a shame Lieutenant Foley's blistering but no-doubt wholly accurate fitness report probably got disregarded for external reasons. given that his judgment of character is such that when he brings home a friend who isn't an outright psychopath the family are so fascinated that they stare for hours, that he panics in a crisis (exactly the sort of crisis, incidentally, that the Navy include in their training to see if people panic during it), that he has a terrible head for heights but no judgement about avoiding situations where that factor will put him and others at risk and that he bears grudges bigstyle against people who have solved crises he has been unable to, the sooner he gives up before he gets anyone killed/the UK plunged into a large and needless diplomatic incident, the better.
