Prior to this battle, one fleet was beset by lemurs while awaiting orders in Madagascar, (15[1])where they had to send (15[1])their craziest crewmen home on the Malay.

To reach the site of this battle, a fleet had to sail around Africa in an 18,000 mile journey that began with a diplomatically-ruinous skirmish against British fishermen at Dogger Bank.
