Battle of the Solent The naval Battle of the Solent took place on 18 and 19 July 1545 during the Italian Wars , fought between the fleets of Francis I of France and Henry VIII of England , in the Solent channel off the south coast of England between Hampshire and the Isle of Wight . The engagement was inconclusive and is most notable for the sinking of the English carrack " Mary Rose " . In 1545 , King Francis I of France launched an invasion of England with 30 , 000 soldiers in more than 200 ships . Against this armada — larger than the Spanish Armada forty - three years later — the English had about 80 ships and 12 , 000 soldiers . The French expedition started disastrously , the flagship " Carraquon " perishing in an accidental fire at anchor in the Seine on 6 July 1545 . Admiral Claude d ' Annebault transferred his flag to " La Maistresse " which then ran aground as the fleet set sail . The leaks were patched and the fleet crossed the Channel . The French entered the Solent and landed troops on the Isle of Wight and the Sussex coast . The French invasion force which had landed at the Isle of Wight were defeated , and forced to retreat , by a local militia in the Battle of Bonchurch . On 18 July 1545 the English came out of Portsmouth and engaged the French at long range , little damage being done on either side . " La Maitresse " was on the point of sinking due to the damage she had sustained earlier but although d ' Annebault had to change his flagship again she was saved from foundering . On the night of 18 July King Henry dined aboard " Great Harry " , the flagship of Admiral John Dudley , Viscount Lisle . The next day was calm , and the French employed their galley s against the immobile English vessels . Toward evening a breeze sprang up and as " Mary Rose " , the flagship of Vice Admiral George Carew , advanced to battle she foundered and sank with the loss of all but 35 - 40 of her crew . The exact reasons for the sinking are not known , but it was believed at the time that the crew had been negligent and forgot to close the lower gunports after firing at the galleys , so that when she heeled over in the breeze she took on water and turned over . A witness on board the French fleet believed that the galleys had sunk her , though this is not supported by other contemporary accounts and no physical evidence of this remains . The French troops ashore made no progress and returned to France in August .
