|1797? Only thing I can find around then is the battle of St. Vincent on 14
|February, when Jervis scattered the Spanish fleet on its way to reinforce a
|French invasion force in Brest. The invasion was cancelled as a result (and
|a young Commodore Nelson earned his knighthood for his actions)

I must say, I'm intrigued as well....Gurth?
