In resumed warfare against Britain in India, French Admiral Ann-Antoine d’Aché arrived on the southeast coast in support of new Governor General Comte Thomas Lally. After a previous clash off Cuddalore, d’Aché and Admiral Sir George Pocock fought another indecisive action off Negapatam, with heavy French casualties. They met again in September 1759 off Pondicherry.
