Action at Cherbourg (1692) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Action at Cherbourg (1692)
The action at Cherbourg was fought on 21 and 22 May Old Style (1st and 2 June New Style) 1692 as part of the aftermath of the Battle of Barfleur which had just been fought on 19 May (Old Style) 1692. ==Background== During the pursuit of the French fleet after the battle of Barfleur, three of the most badly damaged French ships, the ''Soleil Royal'' (of 104 guns), ''Admirable'' (90 guns), and ''Triomphant'' (76 guns), accompanied by two frigates, of 24 and 20 guns, and a fireship, sought a safe haven at Cherbourg. They were beached outside the town, as there was no suitable harbour for them. Russell detailed Delaval, his vice-admiral, to attack and destroy them. Delaval took station off Cherbourg, and so many of the English fleet joined him that his command became unwieldy. Retaining just eleven of the ships with him, mostly the smaller 3rd and 4th Rates, he dispatched the rest, a further sixteen, to join Russell in pursuit of Tourville and the main body of the French fleet.
