 Lion was temporarily repaired at Rosyth with timber and concrete before sailing to Newcastle upon Tyne to be repaired by Palmers as the Admiralty did not wish it known that she was damaged badly enough to require repair at either Portsmouth or Devonport Dockyards lest that be seen as a sign of defeat . She was heeled 8 ° to starboard with four cofferdams in place between 9 February and 28 March to repair about 1 @,@ 500 square feet ( 140 m2 ) of bottom plating and replace five armour plates and their supporting structure . She rejoined the Battlecruiser Fleet , again as Beatty 's flagship , on 7 April . She had fired 243 rounds from her main guns , but had only made four hits : one each on Blücher and Derfflinger , and two on Seydlitz . In return she had been hit by the Germans sixteen times , but only one man was killed and twenty wounded .
