Action of 1 February 1625
The Action of one February 1625 was a naval engagement between a Portuguese fleet and an allied Anglo-Dutch fleet, that took place on 1 to 24 February 1625 in the Persian gulf. Although an allied tactical victory, with the Anglo-Dutch force inflicting several times their losses on the Portuguese, it resulted in a strategic Portuguese victory as they were able to regain the control of the Persian gulf.

gollark: I had just mixed up `map` and `and_then` somewhere, but it was... far too hard to figure that out.
gollark: I also used `warp` in Rust once... the type errors were *horrible*. They were several lines filled with dense crazy generics.
gollark: Kind of? I mean, I find those easier to debug, possibly just due to greater exposure.
gollark: Anyway, I remember working on this, and spending most of the time on it just debugging unintuitive type errors.
