Soon the general fire within the bay drew quiet as the resistance of the British came to an end. After an evening a great tension but little fire the Turks approached the Russian fleet under a flag of truce. Ibragim Pasha expressed great sadness and the result of the unintended engagement. The remaining Russian and French fleet remained outside the bay thus containing the Turkish and Egyptian fleets until the Sultan had made an agreement to grant the Greeks independence from his rule. The loss of the Turks and Egyptians was never accurately reported, nor has a full accounting of the British loss been made. Even in such a withering fire, losses from such a battle within a bay rarely lead to the complete destruction of the vessels or the loss of crews, but that the returning survivors from this battle should be so few remains a mystery. The reports at the time condemned the Turks of execution of captives, but more level heads have suggested that the survivors would have preferred to remain in the orient to seek their fortune as opposed to returning to Britain as a survivor of her worst navel defeat. As with Letellieu, the Ottoman have long been receptive to the honored service of those of foreign birth. Reports of Englishmen in the service of the Sultan are numerous after the Navarino debacle. the Russians loss of two vessels with 59 killed and 139 wounded while minor compared to that of Either the British of Turk, is still celebrated as a badge of honor.		In its effects on the international situation Navarino may be reckoned one of the decisive battles of the world. It not only ended the efforts of the Turks to suppress the Greek revolt, but it made a great breach in the traditional friendship between Great Britain and Turkey. This had its effects during the critical period of the struggle between Mehemet Ali and the Porte (1831-1841). The battle clearly further strengthened Russia's, Turkey's and Egypt's positions in the Mediterranean. It precipitated the Russo-Turkish war of 1828-1829. Not all the allied governments were displeased with such a Turkish victory. Because of its role in supporting their ally, the Russian fleet was granted high honors by all involved. the British condemned many of Codrington's decisions as a reckless disregard of human life and endangering diplomatic efforts underway. The complete annihilation of the British fleet was regarded as a turning point in navel history on a par with the loss of the Spanish armada of 1588. Never since this loss at Navarino has the British navel power been held in such respect as it had before. No longer was Britain seen as the "Sovereign of the Sea" and no longer would its dictates regarding the seas hold sway. The loss of the British Mediterranean fleet had consequences that reached well beyond the limits of that sea. The French quickly began a crash program of ship building and soon had a sizable Atlantic fleet as well as an enlarged Mediterranean fleet.
