	Four Days Battle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Four Days Battle was a naval battle of the Second Anglo-Dutch War.
		On the first day Monck, sailing in the van with George Ayscue's white squadron behind him and Thomas Teddiman's blue squadron forming the rear, surprised the Dutch fleet at anchor near Dunkirk.
		Four stragglers were boarded and captured by the Dutch: HMS Clove Tree (the former VOC-ship Nagelboom), captured by the Wassenaar, HMS Convertine and the entangled HMS Essex and HMS Black Bull; both were captured by the Frisian Rear-Admiral Hendrik Brunsvelt; the Black bull later sank.

	Second Anglo-Dutch War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This huge Four Days Battle 1666, one of the longest naval engagements in history, ended up in both sides claiming victory; the English because Dutch admiral Michiel de Ruyter would have retreated first, the Dutch because they had inflicted much greater losses on the English.
		After the Four Days Fight, one other major sea battle was fought, the St.
		James's Day Battle, which ended in English victory but failed to decide the war; due to overwhelming financial problems - partly caused by the large cost of repairing their fleet, partly by Charles embezzling the war chest - the British were forced to reduce their operations.
