1797 CE

The Anglo-Spanish war has been damaging for Spain and for the Spanish Crown's revenues, with the British blockade greatly reducing the amount of wealth arriving from the colonies.

A main Spanish fleet, under Jose de Cordoba y Ramos, has twenty-seven ships of the line, however, and plans to link with the French and protect coveys of valuable goods.

The British Mediterranean fleet has fifteen ships of the line, heavily outnumbered by Franco-Spanish threats, forcing a retreat from Corsica and Elba by 1797.
