[edit] History
During the seventeenth century, the French Navy became a consistent instrument of the Kingdom of France. In 1630 the French Navy occupied English colony Oxbay in the Caribbean. Under the tutelage of king Louis XIV, the French Navy was well financed and equipped, managing to score several early victories in the Nine Years War against the English Royal Navy and the Dutch Navy. In 1689, during the War of the League of Augsberg, combined forces of the French Navy and buccaneers from Tortuga, under the command of French Admiral Baron Jean de Pointis, manage to capture Cartagena, the richest Spanish city in the Spanish Main. During the era of Jack Sparrow, the French Navy continued to score various successes although the British Royal Navy, under commanders such as Admiral Bratton and Commodore James Norrington, dominates the Seven Seas.
