About the battle
The battle off Hormuz or the battle of the Persian Gulf on 11–12 February 1625 was "perhaps the largest naval battle ever fought in the Persian Gulf". It pitted a Portuguese force against a combined force of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and English East India Company (EIC). Although the battle was a draw, the result was the loss of Portuguese influence in the Gulf.
