metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The naval campaign of the Dnieper Liman, fought from the autumn of 1787 to the end of
  1788, was one of the most decisive maritime confrontations in the modern history of the
  Eastern Mediterranean. Fought in conjunction with two major siege operations, the campaign
  between the naval forces of the Ottoman and Russian empires decided the fate of the key
  Turkish fortress of Özi (Ochakov), which controlled the mouth of the Dnieper. The campaign
  was part of the Russian empress Catherine II’s second war with the Ottomans, a confrontation
  initiated by the Porte in response to Catherine II’s provocative “Greek Project” and fought with
  the aim of liberating the Crimean Khanate, annexed by Russia through force of arms in 1783.
  For the Ottoman side, the decisive operation was the storming and reduction of the Russian
  fortress of Kinburn, which blocked access to the Crimean interior. Since both Russians and
  Turks were fighting at the furthest point from their supply lines, gaining naval support and
  superiority was of paramount importance. Conscious of the role of sea power, Ottomans had
  prepared the greatest armada they ever put to the seas since the Morean Wars of 1684–1718,
  greatly outnumbering their adversary, the nascent Russian Black Sea Fleet. The protracted
  campaign of Liman resulted in the most shattering and costly Ottoman naval defeat of the
  Russo-Turkish Wars. Russia’s much trumpeted but in reality barren victory at Chesma in
  1770 pales in comparison regarding the strategic results of the Liman campaign. The incident
  also serves as a perfect case study to reassess the Age of Sail in the Mediterranean.
