		The beach on which he stands is littered with naval stores and in the left background are two first-rates, the nearer probably the 'Victory', 100 guns, with a blue ensign and a Union at the mizzen, apparently to distinguish him from the rear-admiral of the blue when at sea without the fleet admiral commanding-in-chief.
		At the end of 1781 Kempenfelt was sent in the 'Victory', the fleet flagship, with a squadron to intercept an important French convoy which was sailing to reinforce their holdings in the West Indies.
		After Howe assumed command in 1782, Kempenfelt shifted to the 'Royal George', 100 guns, as a junior flag officer and he was drowned in her when she sank at anchor at Spithead in August, together with over 800 other people.

		On the date of the sinking, the HMS Royal George, under the command of Richard Kempenfelt, was preparing to sail with a fleet commanded by Admiral Lord Howe to Gibraltar.
		The ship rolled over rapidly and sank, taking with her around 800 people, including up to 300 women and 60 children who were visiting the ship in harbour.

		While it appears that little improvement took place during the conflict, the subject of signaling was discussed in at least 26 of the "Out-Letters" of the Marine Committee and Board of Admiralty between January 1777 and October 1780.
		It remained for Capt. Richard Kempenfelt, Royal Navy, to whom Lord Howe turned over his signal book upon retirement, to carry on the fight and lay the foundation for a future visual signal system ultimately to be adopted by all navies.
		Kempenfelt faced a long struggle against custom, tradition, and the inherent inertia of his senior officers, but he seized every opportunity to use his system in squadron drills.

		In 1781, this time flying the flag of Richard Kempenfelt and leading a small force of 12 ships-of-the-line, an obsolete 50-gunner and five frigates, the Victory intercepted a French convoy heading for the West Indies.
		Through a stroke of fortune and excellent seamanship, Kempenfelt was able to board and capture 15 French merchantmen before the vastly superior French escorting fleet of 21 ships-of-the-line were able to engage him...
		Foiled by gale force winds, the French men-of-war were helpless and had to look on helplessly whilst Kempenfelt made off with his prizes.
