Battle of Palermo
The naval Battle of Palermo took place on 2 June 1676 during the Franco-Dutch War, between a French force led by Abraham Duquesne and an Spanish force supported by a Dutch maritime expedition force. Largely due to the fact that the Dutch and Spanish ships were at bay making repairs from earlier a battle, the French fleet destroyed 4 Spanish and 3 Dutch Ships with fireships.
