The two fleets were within range at 11am, but both with-held firing for a further 15 minutes, until the <i>Saint Louis</i> (number 4 in the French Blue-and-White squadron) fired on her opposite number; at that the firing became general up and down the line. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Battle">Battle</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Action_at_Barfleur&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Battle"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Morning">Morning</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Action_at_Barfleur&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Morning"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>11 am to 1 pm</b> </p><p>For the next few hours Tourville's White and Russell's Red squadrons were closely engaged, and causing each other considerable damage. <i>Centurion</i> 50 (Red 7) was engaged by <i>Ambiteux</i> 96 (White 7, Villettes flagship) and severely damaged; <i>Chester</i> 50 (Red 12) was outgunned by <i>Glorieux</i> 64 (White 8) and had to withdraw; <i>Eagle</i> 70 (Red 11) was forced to pull out of the line, with 70 dead, to repair damage, but was able to re-join after emergency repairs; while <i>Grafton</i> 70 (Red 18) suffered 80 casualties, but was able to continue. </p><p>On the French side, <i><a href="/wiki/French_ship_Soleil_Royal_(1669)" title="French ship Soleil Royal (1669)">Soleil Royal</a></i> 104 (White 10, Tourville's flagship) was engaged by three English ships, <i>Britannia</i> 100, (White 14, Russell's flagship) supported by <i>London</i> 96 (Red 15) and <i>St Andrew</i> 56 (White 13); she was severely damaged, and forced at one point out of the line; <i>Perle</i> 52 (White 7) was shot through and through, and suffered one-third of her crew as casualties. <i>Henri</i> 64 (White 2) and Fort 60 (White 1) were both severely damaged trying to hold the line between the White and the Blue-and-White squadrons, to prevent a gap opening; <i>Henri</i> was battered until she could no longer fight, and only escaped capture when Villette sent boats to tow her to safety; <i>Fort'</i>s crew were forced to use sweeps to pull her out of the line for respite. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Afternoon">Afternoon</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Action_at_Barfleur&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Afternoon"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>1pm</b> </p><p>At about 1pm the wind, which up to then had been south-westerly, if it blew at all, strengthened and shifted to the east. This gave the benefit of the weather gage to the allies, who immediately took advantage of it. Shovell saw a gap in the French line ahead of him, and steered towards it; his <i>Royal William</i> 100 (23rd in the Red) broke through to engage the French White from both sides. He was followed by the rest of his division, while <i>Kent</i> 70 (Red 22), and <i>St Albans</i> 50 (Red 21), who were ahead of him in the line, pulled round to follow the <i>William</i> through the breach. </p><p><i>Hampton Court</i> 70 and <i>Swiftsure</i> 70 (the Red 19 and 20), which were ahead of them again, remained to the windward of the French, and joined themselves to Russells division. Carter, with the leading Blue division, saw Shovell's action and followed also, giving about a dozen ships doubling the French line. </p><p>In the van, the wind enabled Almonde to extend and cross the head of the French line; Nesmond responded by turning his division into the wind also, so that over the next few hours the French Blue-and-White became at right angles to the centre (White). </p><p>Shovell's action brought Tourville's ships under fire from both sides; <i>Soleil Royal</i> particularly was hard pressed until Coetlogon, with <i>Magnifique</i> 86 (Blue 3) and <i>Prince</i> 56 (blue 2) interposed. </p><p><b>3pm</b> </p><p>By 3 o’clock the French line was curved leeward like a fish-hook; the Blue-and-White was turned back to the centre, with the Dutch extended around them. When <i>Prince</i> 56 (the French Blue 2, in Coetlogon's division) was hotly engaged on both sides, with a third across her stern, she was saved by <i>Monarque</i> 90, Nesmondes flagship. </p><p>In the centre, Coetlogon and Tourville were engaged on either side by Shovell and Russell, while Carter was matched by the French rear divisions. To the east, Ashby and Rooke were endeavouring to get into action. </p><p><b>4pm</b> </p><p>By 4 o’clock the wind had died, the sea becoming flat calm, and visibility dropping due to battle smoke. The continuous firing also tended to push the embattled ships apart, offering some respite, as both sides were becoming exhausted. </p><p>In the van, Nesmonde continued to turn as Almonde continued to extend and turn the line, both sides using boats to tow the ships into position, while in the rear Ashby was also using boats to bring his Blue squadron into the fray. In the poor visibility however he was unable to see Carter, his vice-admiral, who was in the position of advantage with Shovell beyond the French line, and sorely pressed: He continued to head towards the French Blue squadron, which was north of the main action. </p><p><b>5pm</b> </p><p>By 5pm the centres were re-engaged; Russell had used his boats to tow his ships back into action. The fog had lifted, cleared by a light breeze. As the wind strengthened, Tourville headed north west towards Carter, in order to fight his way out of the encirclement. Russell pursued, until the wind, unpredictable all day, died away and the mist closed in once more. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Evening">Evening</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Action_at_Barfleur&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Evening"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>6pm</b> </p><p>At around 6pm the tide began to turn; seeking to <a href="/wiki/Stopping_the_Tide" class="mw-redirect" title="Stopping the Tide">take advantage</a> of this, and remembering how the English had escaped after the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Beachy_Head_(1690)" title="Battle of Beachy Head (1690)">battle of Beachy Head</a> two years before, Tourville had his ships anchor at the end of slack water, with their sails still set. Deceived by this, Russell's squadron was carried away by the flood tide, until they could themselves anchor, now out of range giving the French a respite. Shovell's ships, uptide of the French, had also anchored, either foreseeing the French manoeuvre, or seeking respite themselves; only <i>Sandwich</i> 90 (Red 24) was unprepared, and was swept by the flood into and through the French line, being severely damaged, and suffering many casualties, including her captain. </p><p><b>7pm</b> </p><p>At around 7pm the wind arose again, from the southeast, allowing the English Blue squadron to join the action. Because of Ashby's previous manoeuvres, Rooke's division was now closer to the embattled Red squadron, and joined the fray. </p><p><i>Neptune</i> 96 (Blue 24, Rooke's flagship), <i>Windsor Castle</i> 90 (Blue 25) and <i>Expedition</i> 70 (Blue 26), were able to engage the French ships, particularly <i>Soleil Royal</i> and <i>Ambiteux</i>, increasing the damage they had already sustained. Ashby, in <i>Victory</i> 100 (Blue 14) and the rest of his division joined the fray shortly after, engaging the main body for the next two hours. </p><p><b>8pm</b> </p><p>Shovell's ships were still in range of the French, but found themselves sternwards to the French bows, so only a few guns on either side could be engaged. From his position uptide, Shovell attempted to break up the French formation by sending <a href="/wiki/Fire_ship" title="Fire ship">fireships</a> onto them with the tide; his intent was to oblige Tourville to cut his anchor cables to escape them, leaving him to drift with the tide onto Russell's guns. Four fireships were released, but the French were able to fend them off . One fireship became entangled with <i>Perle</i>, but her crew were able to cut it loose; another, released by <i>Cambridge</i>, 70, and aimed at <i>Soleil Royal</i>, came so close as to persuade the French flagship to cut, but she was able to re-anchor before coming within range of Russell's ships. </p><p><b>9pm</b> </p><p>At around 9pm Shovell and Rooke decided their position was too exposed to be tenable. As the only ships between the French fleet and the open sea, and being out of contact with the rest of the allied fleet, they decided to use the last of the flood tide to sail through the French fleet and re-join the English line. French contemporary accounts present this as a mistake, as their position placed Tourville in some difficulty, but it is conceivable that if the whole French fleet swept down on them on the ebb, they would be overwhelmed. As it was, the manoeuvre was fraught with difficulty; all their ships were exposed to close raking fire, and were cut up severely. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Aftermath">Aftermath</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Action_at_Barfleur&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Aftermath"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>10pm</b> </p><p>By 10pm the battle was almost over. Both sides were exhausted, and the majority of the ships on both sides were damaged, many severely. Amazingly, none of the ships from either line were lost; none were sunk or captured. Shovell had expended four of his fireships without result, and another had burned earlier after being hit by gunfire; these could be seen burning in the night, and were noted by the captain of the <i>Monmouth</i> in his log. Both sides reported a large explosion around this time, but both thought it was a ship from the opposing fleet. Whichever ship it involved, it was not fatal, as all the ships from both lines were accounted for after the action. On the turn of the tide, and in the moonlight, Tourville ordered the French fleet to cut their anchor cables and slip away; the allies followed on as they could. </p> <div class="mw-heading
