Forming up as the wingman to Sealord Joesph Fletcher on HMS Anastasia as part of the third group to join battle. The british force cleaved the french force early on and soon sunk the split-off french squad forcing the frogs into a hasty retreat, leaving many poor sailing ships to be chewed up by english forged bronze. In the middle of this HMS Resolution caught and sunk a damaged french Macedon. In total 16 French ships were sunk before the rest could reach the open sea and get away. English losses consisted of only 4.''
