 After Rear Admiral Noel relieved Rear Admiral Harris on 12 January 1898, Noel withdrew his flag from Crete, and "Revenge" conducted operations elsewhere.However, a violent riot by Cretan Turks in Candia (now Heraklion) on 6 September 1898, prompted reinforcement of the international forces on Crete, and "Revenge" arrived with Rear-Admiral Noel aboard on 12 September 1898.In a meeting aboard "Revenge" on the morning of 13 September 1898, Noel ordered the Ottoman governor, Edhem Pasha, to take a number of actions to ensure that no further violence would take place and deliver the ringleaders of the riot to the British to face trial; when Edhem Pasha expressed reluctance, "Revenge" and "Camperdown" conducted a demonstration that convinced him to comply.
