Battle of La Hogue
1692
An Anglo-Dutch fleet under Admiral Russell destroyed a French invasion armada off the Normandy coast at La Hogue, scattering Louis XIV's plan to restore James II by force. Twelve French ships of the line burned on the beach while English sailors cheered. France would never again seriously attempt an invasion of England by sea.
