Action of 23 April 1794

The Action of 23 April 1794 took place between a British squadron of five frigates under the command of Sir John Borlase Warren and three frigates and a corvette under the command of Chef d'escadre F. Desgarceaux during the French Revolutionary Wars. Three of the French ships were captured.
==The battle==
On 21 April the frigate sighted four distant ships in the English Channel. The next morning ''Minerva'' met Warren's squadron, and passed this information on.〔 Warren promptly set off in pursuit, and at dawn the next day, around 4 a.m., sighted three frigates and a corvette about seven or eight leagues (24.5–28 nautical miles) south-west of Guernsey. The French formed a line of battle, and Warren signalled his squadron to engage, with his own flagship in the lead, supported by . Taking advantage of the weather gage the British were able to force the French into a close action which lasted for nearly three hours, before the and surrendered at around 11 a.m.
The and attempted to escape, and Warren ordered , and to pursue, as ''Flora'' was in no condition to do so. After an hour ''Concorde'' caught up with ''Engageante'' and attempted to disable her, intending to then attack the ''Résolue'', leaving ''Engageante'' to ''Melampus'' and ''Nymphe'', which were following.〔
However, while ''Concorde'' was engaged with ''Engageante'', the ''Résolue'' dropped back and laid herself across ''Concorde'' bows, badly damaging her sails and rigging to the point where she was disabled. Having made hasty repairs ''Concorde'' came up again to re-engage the ''Engageante'', which eventually surrendered at about 1.45 p.m. ''Résolue'' fired a few shots and then made off, pursued by ''Melampus'' and ''Nymphe'', who chased her into Morlaix, before returning to assist ''Concorde'' which was towing the crippled ''Engageante'' to port.〔
