on 23 january 1945, "richelieu" left casablanca for gibraltar, arriving there two days later to have her hull cleaned and repainted. the french sought to deploy an independent task force consisting of "richelieu", the four light cruisers still in service, and four destroyers, with a view toward reestablishing french control in indochina. but the united states opposed the move and refused to allocate the necessary aircraft carriers and support ships that would have been necessary for another independent fleet, and so "richelieu" could only be sent, alone, back to the eastern fleet. the ship conducted trials in february that revealed the problem with her boilers had finally been corrected and she thereafter got underway for trincomalee, arriving on 20 march. by this time, the modern elements of the eastern fleet had been detached to form the british pacific fleet, with the eastern fleet being renamed the east indies fleet. this unit, still under power's command, consisted of "queen elizabeth" and "renown", nine cruisers, ten escort carriers, and twenty destroyers. japanese naval strength at singapore had also significantly decreased to just four heavy cruisers and several destroyers.
