Accept our dominion.Quote:
However, Saumarez gave the 74-gun Superb, which was not present for the first part of the battle and was thus undamaged, the freedom to pursue and attack the allied fleet at will. After night had fallen, the Superb sailed between the San Hermenegildo and Real Carlos, first-rate ships of 112 guns, and attacked them both. Superb then proceeded up the Franco-Spanish line, but between the darkness and the smoke from the firing, the Spanish did not realise that she had left. Real Carlos and San Hermenegildo furiously fired on one another, resulting in the loss of both ships. The Superb then attacked and captured the French St. Antoine.
