Sp fights out of Naples pas Br blockade goes to Taranto. Br re-blockade next move.
Naples surrenders, Sp fleet enters blockade box and co-blockades Taranto with Brits. No battle.
Br block fleet sails out and rendezvous with Nelson, they all enter blockade box. Battle ensues, Brit wins (9-14 losses) yet retreats to off-Naples. Sp fleet vanishes.
Should not Sp have fought blockade battle at moment of surrender?
