- The Chesapeake Raid was an American Revolutionary War campaign by British naval forces under the command of Commodore Sir George Collier and land forces led by Major General Edward Mathew. Between 10 May and 24 May 1779 these forces raided economic and military targets up and down Chesapeake Bay. The speed with which the British moved caught many of the bay's communities by surprise, so there was little to no resistance. The British destroyed economically important supplies of tobacco and coal, and destroyed naval ships, port facilities, and storehouses full of military supplies. (en)

Chesapeake raid) — набеговая операция британцев, проведенная силами флота и армии против поселений по берегам Чесапикского залива в мае 1779 года, во время Американской войны за независимость. Благодаря быстроте выполнения и высокой мобильности британцев, многие поселения колонистов были захвачены врасплох. (ru)
