The strain of jail life was showing its strain on Robert Blake, which became obvious as mid-January, 2003, approached.

By the time Blake returned to England in October 1655, the Anglo-Spanish war had broken out. Blake sailed from Portsmouth against the Spaniards in March 1656 with a fleet of 48 ships. He spent a year cruising off the coast of Spain and the eastern Atlantic. The blockade of the port of Cádiz allowed Captain Richard Stayner to capture part of the homeward-bound Spanish plate fleet from the West Indies — said to be worth nearly two million pounds. For the first time in naval history, Blake kept the fleet at sea throughout an entire winter in order to maintain the blockade.
