Naval battle

The action of 1 February 1625 was a naval engagement between a Portuguese fleet and an allied Anglo-Dutch fleet, that took place on 1 to 24 February 1625 in the Persian Gulf. Although an allied tactical victory, with the "Anglo-Dutch force inflicting several times their losses on the Portuguese," it resulted in a strategic Portuguese victory as they were able to regain the control of the Persian gulf.
