			During the [[Seven Years' War]], the Royal Navy fought the [[French Navy]] throughout the [[Atlantic Ocean\|North Atlantic]] and European waters. In the early stages of the war, the British suffered heavy losses and setbacks at the hands of the French, especially during a disastrous battle near [[St. John's]] where the British lost a [[Man O' War]] and several [[brig]]s to the French. As a result, British naval strength was weakened while the French controlled a number of [[fort]]s and settlements throughout the North Atlantic.

			Thanks to Shay's efforts, the Royal Navy was victorious and captured Louisbourg, marking a turning point in the war. Over the next few years, the British secured additional victories, including at the [[Battle of Quiberon Bay]], where they again received help from Shay and his {{Wiki\|sloop-of-war}}, the ''[[Morrigan]]''. By the end of the war in 1763, the Royal Navy had come to dominate the North Atlantic, as well as other parts of the world such as [[Manila]] and [[Java]], thanks to the Templars' interference through Shay's [[Shay Cormac's fleet\|personal fleet]].<ref name="ACRG"/>
