The Vice-Admiral Commanding the Third Battle Squadron, Sir Edward E. Bradford, wrote to the First Sea Lord, Sir Henry B. Jackson, on 9 March, 1916:

I desire to recommend Captain J. Nicholas to your notice now that the Hindustan is to pay off.
He is a very steady and reliable officer of good judgement and has commanded his ship to my entire satisfaction.
I have mentioned his name to Sir John Jellicoe and I think he would be an excellent choice for a [dreadnought] battleship.[8]
