HMS Anson, a great wallower of a ship, even though she had been cut down from a 64-gun frigate to one of 44 guns to improve her sailing qualities, left Falmouth on Christmas Eve, 1807, to join the patrols blockading the French Channel ports.
By the time Captain Charles Lydiard reached the French coast close to Roscoff on 27 December she was running into a full gale and finally had to turn before it to seek shelter in Falmouth again.
Captain Lydiard tried to sail her out of the trap, but she was dipping her head into the huge seas and slowly but surely she was being blown onto the lee shore between Gunwalloe and Porthleven.

He served aboard the destroyer HMS Lydiard at Jutland and at the Dardanelles and claimed to have produced the most accurate counter battery fire of any destroyer at the Dardanelles.
Aside from his work in radar, Fawcett also pushed for anti-submarine escort aircraft carriers and was instrumental in having HMS Audacity fitted out as the first of these carriers in 1941.
Having damaged his health through over-work, Fawcett was assigned to the Coastal Command Operational Centre in 1944 as a duty commander, only to be brought back in December of that year as an adviser on anti-submarine precautions for D-Day.
