Fought during the Russo Turkish War, 1768 1774 , this indecisive battle took place on 27 and 28 May 1770 at the entrance to the Gulf of Nauplia , Greece, when a Russian fleet under John Elphinstone engaged a larger Ottoman Navy Ottoman fleet . No ships were lost on either side, and casualties were small. Elphinston had arrived at Cape Matapan, southern Greece, on 20 May 1770 from Portsmouth and landed his troops on 22 May at Rupino. Hearing that the Ottoman fleet was in 2 parts, he decided to attack. After battling bad weather, he sighted the Ottoman ships on 27 May at the entrance to the gulf and despite the superior numbers of the Ottomans about 10 battleships and some smaller vessels vs 3 battleships, 2 frigates and 4 armed merchantmen he sailed up before a light SSE breeze to attack. Soon after 5pm Ne tron menya attacked the Ottoman flagship, and then Saratov attacked the Ottoman Vice and Rear Admiral s ships. Nadezhda was also in action. Elphinston, in Svyatoslav , had to chase and fire on the armed merchantmen to get them to fight, but when he did attack the Ottoman fleet retreated, using their galley s to tow their battleships north. The Russians used their boats to do the same. On 28 May, soon after 12pm the Ottoman fleet anchored in line under the guns of the Nauplia batteries. At about 3pm Elphinston attacked, standing up and down the Ottoman line, but with little effect. Russian casualties were low. On 30 May, the Ottomans began to move, and some Russian captains insisted that they were not bound to attack such a superior fleet. Elphinston had to give in, and during the evening of 31 May as the Ottomans steadily approached, being towed again by their galleys, the wind rose and the Russians got away.
