James had built an impressive fleet to control the Western Isles including a giant gun armed ship, the Great Michael. This time was an attack on Henry's Prestige and It also threat since Scotland was allied to France.
While the Royal Navy entered the Second World War with the world's largest fleet. This was the Royal Navy's last big ship versus big ship gunnery duel.
