Location?
[edit]The location of this battle is very unclear; Agosta, Italy (if that is what is meant by "near Agosta"--it's not specified) is inland and thus an unlikely site for a naval battle... AdRock (talk) 13:33, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- It should be Augusta - a city on the coast of Sicily. I'll fix it. Funnyhat (talk) 06:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, the battle is also called the Battle of Agosta. The town was called Agosta in the 17th Century. e.g. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=r8Qa4l6lZHgC; http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/174061/Abraham-Duquesne-marquis-du-Quesne.

A History of the French Navy by Jenkins
[edit]My edit was reversed for not adding sources, but I merely substituted misquotations of this text while leaving it as a source. As is explained in Jenkins' text, de Ruyter was not the overall commander of the combined fleet during Augusta. @DavidDijkgraaf Ruler in Peace (talk) 14:27, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
