	Admiral Robert Blake
		On September 25 Dutch Vice-Admiral Witte de Witt[?], underestimating the strength of the British, attempted to attack Blake, but due to the weather it was Blake who attacked on the 28th - the Battle of the Kentish Knock[?] - with de Witt retiring on the 30th.
		At the Battle of Gabbard Shoal[?] on June 2 to 3, 1653, Blake reinforced the ships of Generals Richard Deane and George Monck, where the Dutch fleet fled having lost 20 of 100 warships for no British losses - though Deane was killed.
		Peace with the Dutch achieved, Blake sailed in October 1654 with 24 warships to the Mediterranean, successfully deterring the Duke of Guise[?] from conquering Naples.

	Battle of Dungeness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In October 1652 the English government, mistakenly believing that the United Provinces after their defeat at the Battle of the Kentish Knock woul desist from bringing out a fleet so late in the season, sent away ships to the Mediterranean.
		The battle not only showed the folly of dividing forces while the Dutch still possessed a large fleet in home waters, but exposed "much baseness of spirit, not among the merchantmen only, but many of the state's ships".
		By February 1653 the English were ready to challenge the Dutch control of the seas, resulting in the three-day Battle of Portland.
