.
In 1648 he was arrested and sent to See also:London, but was soon released, and sent back as See also:rear admiral in the " Assurance " (32)
.
The exact cause of the See also:arrest is unknown, but it may be presumed to have been that he was suspected of being in See also:correspondence with the king's supporters
.
It is highly probable that he was, for until the Restoration he was regularly in communication with the Royalists, while serving the parliament, or See also:Cromwell, so See also:long as their service was profitable, and making no See also:scruple of applying for grants of the confiscated lands of the king's Irish See also:friends
.
The See also:character of " mean See also:fellow " given him by See also:Pepys is See also:borne out by much that is otherwise known of him

.
After 165o he was employed in the Ocean, and in the Mediterranean in pursuit of the Royalists under See also:Prince See also:Rupert

.
When the first Dutch War See also:broke out Penn was appointed See also:vice-admiral to See also:Blake, and was See also:present at the See also:battle of the 28th of See also:September off the Kentish Knock

.
In See also:December he was included in the See also:commission of admirals and generals at sea, who exercised the military command of the See also:fleet, as well as " one of the commissioners for ordering and managing the affairs of the See also:admiralty and See also:navy." In 1654 he offered to carry the fleet over to the king, but in See also:October ofthe same year he had no scruple in accepting the See also:naval command in the expedition to the See also:West Indies sent out by Cromwell, which conquered See also:Jamaica
.
He was not responsible for the shameful repulse at See also:San Domingo, which was due to a panic among the troops
.
On their return he and his military colleague Venables were sent to the See also:Tower
.
He made humble submission, and when released retired to the See also:estate he had received from confiscated See also:land in See also:Ireland
.
He continued in communication with the Royalists, and in 166o had a rather obscure See also:share in the Restoration
.
He was reappointed See also:commissioner of the navy by the king, and in the second Dutch War served as " See also:great See also:captain See also:commander" or captain of the fleet, with the See also:duke of See also:York (afterwards King See also:- JAMES
