The Battle of Plymouth unfolded amidst the First Anglo-Dutch War on 16 August 1652, when General-at-Sea George Ayscue of the Commonwealth of England confronted Vice-Commodore Michiel de Ruyter's Dutch Republic convoy. They clashed off the coast of Sussex. Ayscue, commanding a fleet of 47 vessels, aimed to intercept the convoy, but De Ruyter, leading 31 ships, skillfully maneuvered, forcing Ayscue's avoidance.
