Action of 22 January 1783 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Action of 22 January 1783
The Action of 22 January 1783 was a single ship action fought off the Chesapeake Bay during the American War of Independence. The British frigate under the command of Thomas McNamara Russell captured the French frigate ''Sybille'' under the command of Kergariou-Locmaria. The circumstances of the battle included controversial violations of accepted rules of war regarding the flying of false flags and distress signals. ==Background== The ''Sybille'', a relatively new French frigate, was commanded by Kergariou-Locmaria〔(''Bulletin de la Société Académique de Brest'' )〕 (whose name is badly misspelled in British histories). The French ship had been engaged three weeks previously with the 32-gun British frigate HMS ''Magicienne'' under Captain Thomas Graves. Both ships had fought until they had both been dismasted and were forced to disengage. ''Sybille'' made for a French port under a jury rig and was then caught in a violent storm. Due to this unfortunate series of events Kergariou had been obliged to throw twelve of his guns overboard.
