	Kanhoji Angre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kanhoji is also credited with the foresight that a navy's role is to keep the enemy engaged away from the shores of the land.
		Kanhoji's harassment of British commercial interests (who hence called him a pirate) and the Battle of Swally led them to establish a small naval force that eventually became the modern Indian Navy.
		During the Malwani Jatrotsav festival in 1995 at Parel, Mumbai, a simulation of the naval battle between Angre and the English fleet led by Charles Boon was conducted using remote-control wooden boats in an open tank (70' x 30').

		In 1756 the Angria fleet was wrecked at Vijaydurg by British fire and the Maratha Peshwa entered into an alliance.

		Vijaydurg was known to 18th Century English sailors and officials as Gheriah and was the primary base for the fleet controlled by Kanhojee Angria (I would love to know what this man is known as in modern Indian accounts).
		Angria's sailors included men from not just the local Indian seafaring community, but also Arabs, Somalis, and Dutch and Portugese deserters and adventurers.
		Before Angria came to power the Mogul fleet had been run by the Siddees operating mainly out of Janjira, but this fleet had been relatively less able to confront the European fleets.
