Battle context
The Battle of Lyngør resulted in the destruction of Denmark–Norway's last major warship, the frigate Najaden. A British squadron of one ship of the line and three brig-sloops located Najaden sheltering off Lyngør and engaged her, inflicting severe losses: 133 of her crew were killed and 87 wounded against British casualties of only 9 killed and 26 wounded. By eliminating Denmark–Norway's remaining significant naval vessel, the engagement effectively ended any meaningful Dano-Norwegian capacity for conventional fleet operations in the Gunboat War, leaving Denmark–Norway reliant on its smaller gunboat forces for the remainder of the conflict.
