 During his retreat, Albemarle placed 15 of his strongest and least damaged ships including his "Royal Charles" in line abreast as a rear-guard, and ordered the six most badly damaged to make their own way to port.The "St Paul" (the former Dutch "Sint Paulus") had taken on too much water to keep with the other ships and was burned to prevent capture after its crew had been taken off.Both sides had missed chances to strike decisive blows on the second day.
