From "Samuel Pepys: The Unequalled Self" by Claire Tomalin
"Of the commissioners, Penn, who was given a brief to take an interest in every aspect of the board's work…owed his appointment to his years of experience as a naval commander…. Another commisioner, Peter Pett, the master-shipwright at Chatham, had nothing of the cavalier about him and had served Cromwell zealously; but no change of government could unseat him, because the Pett family had a virtual monopoly of shipbuilding in the Thames yards, and he moved smoothly to work for the restored monarchy.
“…Lord Berkely, the third commissioner, was appointed purely as a sign of royal favour; nothing was expected of him.”
