Naval operations in the Age of Sail often read like Comedies of Error. This particular occasion is no different. A few tweaks here and there, and a great naval battle where the Franco-Spanish force outnumbered the British by nearly 2-1 could take place.

What influence on the war, in general, would such a naval victory have?
Follow-up, likely much more important: What influence on the war, in general, would the likely follow-up invasion of Great Britain have?
