		Hoisting his flag on HMS Ramillies, Byng was surprised to find that nine of his thirteen ships were desperately short of men but the Admiralty refused to allow him to enlist men from the other ships in the harbour.

		Byng was moved from confinement on HMS Antelope to HMS Royal Anne in Portsmouth Harbour and then on to the Royal Hospital at Greenwich.

	3rdCB: HMS Solebay
		The main armament was to be fitted in enclosed mountings, despite objections from some quarters that the aperture required for the barrels to have an 80o elevation would expose the mechanism to water damage in heavy seas, and that enclosing the mounting would make the guns crew blind.
		SOLEBAY was launched at Hawthorn Leslie on 22 February 1944.
		She was also selected as senior escort to the Royal Yacht for H.M. The Queen’s state visit to Italy, which included a visit to Venice (the first of two made by SOLEBAY) culminating in a spectacular fire-work display.
