In resumed warfare against Britain in India, French Admiral Comte Ann-Antoine d’Aché arrived on the southeast coast of India in support of new Governor General Comte Thomas Lally. During an indecisive naval action off Cuddalore, d’Aché was repulsed by Admiral Sir George Pocock and retired to Pondicherry. Cuddalore surrendered to Lally a week later.
