Trial Defense of Sir Foln Hamilton on Flag Shifting

The prisoner Defence observes the court and argues that shifting his flag was optional and unnecessary given the battle had ended and the Admiral showed no intent to renew combat. He asserts the Red division’s position and the fleet’s state justify not moving his flag and cites practical dangers and delays if he had shifted, maintaining readiness for action the next day.

Statement by captain on Keppel trial and actions after battle

The captain testifies that after being damaged he did not renew the attack as expected and disputes questions about distress signals and fleet intentions. He argues Admiral Keppel showed approval of his conduct, cites witnesses, notes on night lights, mast rot, and log books, and appeals for public acquittal and national approbation. The court adjourns awaiting sentence, expected midweek.
