- The Battle of Aden was a armed engagement between the Ottomans and the Portuguese in which the Portuguese suffered a defeat as a result of an ambush by Ottoman forces. In the fall of 1585 the Portuguese dispatched a fleet to south Arabia with instructions to attack Muslim shipping. This was led by Ruy Gonçalves da Câmara and was the first serious attempt by the Portuguese to restrict access to the Red Sea in more than a decade. Furthermore, the fleet, numbering 26 vessels was one of the largest naval force sent to the region by the Portuguese. While anchored at a bay 30 miles south of Mocha Rui Gonçalves landed a scouting party of 70 men to fetch water for the fleet, but it was attacked by a force of 2000 Turkish horsemen from Mocha and forced to reembark the following day, having suffered five or six dead, in process the Portuguese lost one of their own Vessels in the ambush, This was later reported by Ottoman authorities as a major victory. Despite the numerical strength of the Portuguese fleet, Ruy Gonçalves da Câmara failed to catch any ship in four months., the Portuguese succumbed to thirst and other privation during their return to Muscat in April 1586.
