Battle of Ushant (1781) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Battle of Ushant (1781)
The Second Battle of Ushant was a naval battle fought between French and British squadrons near Ushant on 12 December 1781. ==Battle== A French convoy sailed from Brest on 10 December with reinforcements and stores for the East and West Indies, protected by a fleet of 19 ships of the line commanded by Comte de Guichen. The British squadron of 13 ships of the line, commanded by Rear Admiral Richard Kempenfelt in HMS ''Victory'', which had been ordered to sea to intercept the expected convoy, sighted the French on 12 December, discovering only then that the protective escort had been strengthened. De Guichen's fleet was downwind of the convoy, which let the British ships sweep down to capture 15 ships carrying troops and supplies, before the French ships could intervene.
