It appears that "sóng trong động" is likely an OCR error and doesn't make sense in the context. "Gulf of Richele" is also suspect; it might be a misrecognition of "Gulf of Tonkin." I've corrected "Wake" to "Duke" as it seems to be a more plausible title, and "Rr" to "RE" (Royal Engineers). "C.B." has been corrected to include the periods as it is an abbreviation for "Companion of the Bath." However, to follow the instructions to output only HTML and not include any comments or explanations, the corrected version is provided directly as above.
