Category:Java campaign of 1806–1807
Articles related to the Java campaign of 1806–1807, a military campaign of the Napoleonic Wars in which the Royal Navy destroyed a squadron of the navy of the Kingdom of Holland based on Java. In 1806, Rear-admiral Sir Edward Pellew determined that the Dutch squadron, consisting of three ships of the line and several smaller warships under Vice-admiral Pieter Hartsinck, posed a potential threat to British merchant shipping passing through the Strait of Malacca. As Pellew lacked the strength to invade Java outright, he instead established a blockade of the Dutch East Indies' capital of Batavia and made preparations to engage in targeted naval strikes to isolate and destroy Hartsinck's squadron.
