Ramsay operated three routes so traffic could be distributed and German attacks would have a harder time concentrating on one path. His staff arranged roughly a thousand copies of the necessary charts and laid buoys around the Goodwin Sands and toward Dunkirk. Reservists expanded the available pool of experienced personnel, while destroyers repeated high-capacity crossings with troops crowded on exposed decks. These details reveal the staff work underneath the visible courage of the ships and explain why Ramsay later became central to major amphibious planning.
