OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Action of 30 May 1798 was a minor naval engagement between a small British squadron and a small French squadron off the coast of Normandy, France during the French Revolutionary Wars. A British blockade force, which had been conducting patrols in the region in the aftermath of the battle of St Marcou earlier in the month, encountered two French vessels attempting to sail unnoticed between Le Havre and Cherbourg. Closing with the French, the British commander Sir Francis Laforey sought to bring the French ships to battle as they attempted to turn back to Le Havre before the British squadron could attack. The French were unable to escape, and Laforey's flagship, the fifth rate HMS Hydra engaged the French frigate Confiante while two smaller British ships chased the French corvette Vesuve.
