In the following year, the Commission's report recommended a huge programme of fortification to defend the country's arsenals and naval bases.

  • Die Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom wurde 1859 von Lord Palmerston eingesetzt, da sich in jener Zeit in Großbritannien die Sorgen mehrten, dass Frankreich eine Invasion Englands planen könnte. Zu dieser Zeit hatte es große Fortschritte in der Geschütztechnik gegeben und gleichzeitig setzte sich die Dampfschifffahrt immer mehr durch. Die französische Flotte war in der Zeit von 1854 bis 1858 so weit ausgebaut worden, dass sie zahlenmäßig der des Vereinigten Königreichs entsprach. Diese Umstände überzeugten Lord Palmerston, dass die militärische Küstenverteidigung des Großbritanniens zu schwach war, falls die Flotte an anderer Stelle eingesetzt wurde, um einen Invasionversuch abzuwehren.
