April 2, 1797.
Count Florida Blanca and Archbishop Brienne, after brief negotiations, signed the supplemental articles to the Fez Treaty.
France obtained ownership of Ceuta Port, and granted Spanish ships the right to enter the port for resupply.
France and Spain would form a Combined Fleet (each contributing at least five battleships of Third Level or above, and ten ships of Fifth Level or above. At the same time, France would provide twenty-five steam battleships. Spain would supply the fleet), jointly cutting off the British Navy's sea resupply to Gibraltar.
Well, they say they'll cut it off, but in reality, that's basically impossible.
In such a narrow area as the Strait of Gibraltar, the French steam battleships' maneuvering advantage can't be exploited, while the British Navy can use its numerical advantage in battleships to wage positional warfare.
At most, they can only seize the chance to harass some transport ships.
