Milford Haven, the largest natural deep-water harbour in Wales and one of the finest in the British Isles, was kept under watch during the 1545 French operations on the English south coast. The English government was aware that a French squadron operating in the Irish Sea could use Milford Haven as a base without being engaged by the forces concentrated at Portsmouth. The watch reflected the genuinely national scope of the 1545 defence emergency.
