Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Admiralty decided that no further action should be taken. The following April, Captain Dow took sick leave, probably induced from the stress caused by running Lusitania through the war zone. ... New orders for Lusitania were not to fly any flags in the war zone and warnings on how to protect the ship.
