THE BATTLE OF GRAVELINES ( AUG. 8 TH ) The Spanish crescent shape was now broken and for the first time both sides came together in battle, close enough for musket fire The battle raged furiously until a sudden rainstorm separated the fleets Spanish were now too weak to sail back down the Channel & fight the English so they fled north. The English fleet was too weak and low on supplies to follow
