The <entity_1> was the first of five largely indecisive naval battles fought between a <entity_4> fleet (under Admiral Sir Edward Hughes) and a French fleet (under Suffren) off the east coast of India during the Anglo-French War. Fought on <entity_2> near present-day <entity_3>, the <entity_5> was tactically indecisive, but the <entity_4> fleet suffered the most damage. <entity_6> had entered the <entity_0> in 1778, and Britain declared war on the Dutch Republic in late 1780 after the Dutch refused to stop trading with the French and the Americans. Suffren was involved in a happenstance <entity_5> with a <entity_4> fleet at Porto Praya in the Cape Verde Islands in April. The signal was raised on the morning of <entity_2>, and Suffren gave chase to force <entity_5>.
