As unrest spread beyond the Nore, HMS Galatea's crew confined Captain Richard Goodwin Keats and returned with Sir John Borlase Warren's squadron to Plymouth. They wanted improvements in service conditions and did not wish to take their ships to France. After Keats was released and pay and prize-money questions were examined, investigators found that Galatea's crew had gone unpaid for an unusually and suspiciously long period. Once those issues were addressed, the ship returned to its station.
