 Suffren's East Indian Campaign
Some refer to this battle as that of 'Madras'.] Though neither side lost a ship, the mutually inflicted damage to their squadrons caused both naval commanders not to continue the engagment the following day.
The engagement was essentially indecisive, and again both commanders did not find their respective squadrons prepared to continue the engagement.
Influenced by the capture of de Grasse's at the battle of the Saintes (12 April 1782), the French naval ministry sent out an order that, in battle, the flag officer commanding should direct his fleet from a frigate.
