Battle of the Gulf of Roses

The Battle of the Gulf of Roses, also known as the action of 14 February 1795, was a minor naval engagement of the French Revolutionary Wars.

It was fought in the Gulf of Roses between a ship of Juan de Lángara's fleet and a French squadron which consisted of a frigate and a corvette.

Consisting of eight ships of the line and two frigates, the French squadron initially flew the Spanish flag.
