Minor naval engagement during the French Revolutionary Wars

The action of 7 May 1794 was a minor naval action fought between a British ship of the line and a French frigate early in the French Revolutionary Wars. The French Navy sought to disrupt British trade by intercepting and capturing merchant ships with roving frigates, a strategy countered by Britain by protecting convoys with heavier warships, particularly in European waters.
