Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I mātakitaki a Anson i te Navy mō te nuinga o te Pakanga e whitu o ngā Tau, ā, i whakatūria he kapa pūmau ki Devonport e taea ai te tirotiro i ngā huarahi ki te uru ki Ingarangi me Wīwī. I tino awangawanga ia mo te whakaeke French o nga Moutere o Ingarangi i arahina ai ia ki te pupuri i tetahi ope nui i te Channel Ingarihi. I te tau 1756, i whakahehia ia mo te kore i tonoa he maha o nga kaipuke me Admiral Byng ki te whakaora i Minorca
I te mea i hiahia ia ki te tiaki i Ingarangi mai i te whakaekenga whakaeke, anake ki te kite i te kore a Byng ki te whakaora i Minorca i te mea kaore he whakaekenga whakaeke i puta. I mahue ia i te Admiralty i te hinganga o te minita o Newcastle i te marama o Noema 1756, a, ka mahi ano ia hei Ariki Tuatahi i te wa i hangaia ai te minita o Pitt-Newcastle i te marama o Hune 1757.
