Action of 6 October 1779

The Action of 6 October 1779 was a minor but famous and furious naval engagement that took part in the early stages of the war between Britain and France in the American War of Independence between the British Royal Navy frigate HMS ''Quebec'' and the frigate ''Surveillante'' of the French Navy. The battle ended with a French victory when ''Quebec'' was destroyed by an explosion.
== Background ==

France along with Spain joined on the side of the Americans and war was declared between France and Britain. Britain did not attempt a close blockade of French ports rather a screen of frigates kept a vigil while the ships of the line stayed at anchor at places like Torbay and Spithead. One of those frigates, operating off Guernsey, was the thirty two gun twelve pounder frigate HMS ''Quebec'' under Captain George Farmer. ''Quebec'' had submerged on a rock and had to throw excess weight overboard to refloat her, sacrificing his 12-pound cannon. When repaired in Portsmouth there were no replacements at the time so ship and crew went back out on station armed with only nine pounders.
On October 6 ''Quebec'' working with the cutter HMS ''Rambler'' of ten guns spotted a frigate and a cutter. By 8:00am they were found to be the French ''Iphigénie''-class 32 gun ''Surveillante'', under captain Couëdic de Kergoaler and the cutter ''L'Expedition''.〔Hennequin pg 101〕
