The naval Battle of Reval[g] took place on 13 May [O.S. 2 May] 1790 during the Russo-Swedish War (1788–1790), off the port of Reval in the roadstead (now Tallinn, Estonia). This battle ended in an imposing Imperial Russian Navy's victory; it has been compared to the practice of running the gauntlet.[5]
