Action of 17 July 1761
The Action of 17 July 1761 was a naval engagement fought off the Spanish port of Cádiz between a British Royal Navy squadron and a smaller French Navy squadron during the Seven Years' War. British fleets had achieved dominance in European waters over the French following heavy defeats of French fleets 1759. To maintain this control, British battle squadrons were stationed off French ports, as well as ports in neutral but French-supporting Spain which sheltered French warships. In 1761, two French ships, the 64-gun ship of the line ''Achille'' and 32-gun frigate ''Bouffone'' were blockaded in the principal Spanish naval base of Cádiz, on the Southern Atlantic coast of Spain.
''Achille'' had departed the French Atlantic base of Brest in March, fighting though the blockade of that port, and was then trapped in Cádiz by a British squadron detached from the Mediterranean Fleet based at Gibraltar comprising ships of the line HMS ''Thunderer'' and HMS ''Modeste'', frigate HMS ''Thetis'' and sloop HMS ''Favourite'', under the command of Captain Charles Proby on ''Thunderer''. When the French ship attempted to leave Proby gave chase, eventually catching them and bringing them to battle. ''Thunderer'' suffered heavy losses when a cannon exploded, but Proby was able to bring his ship alongside ''Achille'' and capture the ship in a boarding action while ''Thetis'' and ''Modeste'' captured ''Bouffone''.
