.The Battle of Quiberon Bay (known as Bataille des Cardinaux in French) was a decisive naval engagement fought on 20 November 1759 during the between the and the. It was fought in, off the coast of near. The battle was the culmination of British efforts to eliminate French naval superiority, which could have given the French the ability to carry out their.
A fleet of 24 under tracked down and engaged a French fleet of 21 ships of the line under. After hard fighting, the British fleet sank or ran aground six French ships, captured one and scattered the rest, giving the Royal Navy one of its greatest victories, and ending the threat of French invasion for good.The battle signalled the rise of the Royal Navy in becoming the world's foremost naval power, and, for the British, was part of the.
Further information:, andThe endemic ill feeling between France and Great Britain during the 18th century turned into open warfare in 1754 and 1755. In 1756 what become known as the broke out across Europe, pitching France, Austria and Russia against Britain and Prussia. France supported Austria and Russia in a land campaign against Prussia, and launched what it saw as its main effort in a maritime and colonial offensive against Britain. By the beginning of 1759 neither alliance had the advantage, in either the land or sea campaigns, and both were having serious problems financing the war. In 1759 more than 60% of French revenue went to service its debt, causing numerous shortages. The French navy in particular was overstretched and suffered from the lack of a coherent doctrine, exacerbated by the inexperience verging on incompetence of the Secretary of State for the Navy, a former chief of police. Meanwhile, Britain's war effort up to early 1756 had been a failure.
From the summer of 1757 it came under the control of the assertive new (foreign minister), who imposed a coordinated strategy. By early 1759 this was beginning to bear fruit.In response to the British successes, the ministers of the French king planned a direct invasion of Britain, which if successful would have decided the war in their favour.
An army of 17,000 was collected at Vannes, in the south-east of, and nearly 100 transports were assembled near, plus several warships sailing, that is with their guns stripped out to allow them to transport more soldiers. In its final form the French plan required these transports to be escorted by the.However, at the best of times the French struggled to crew their full fleet with experienced mariners; landsmen could be used, but even a small deficiency in ship handling translated into a significant handicap in a combat situation. Three years into the war, thousands of French seamen were held as prisoners by the British; many more were engaged in speculative, and occasionally lucrative, careers; and the unhealthy conditions, onerous onboard discipline and poor wages, paid late, acted as a strong disincentive to service. The transports also required at least a of skilled men.
By the summer of 1759 the French had 73, the largest warships of the time: 30 serving abroad and 43 in home waters. The ships in home waters required an aggregate of about 25,000 men; they were more than 9,000 short of this.
The 43 French ships in home waters were split between the Atlantic port of (22 ships) and the Mediterranean port of, with a small number at two ports on the:. The British had 40 ships of the line in home waters, and a further 15 in their Mediterranean Fleet, which was based in.Brest was the obvious starting point for the expedition: it was a major port; it was well placed with regard to the prevailing winds; and departure from it minimised the sailing distance and time to the proposed landing site. However, Brest was at the end of a long and relatively infertile peninsula, which made supporting a large number of men there difficult; supplies of food had to come in by sea and were vulnerable to the British. A epidemic in Brest during 1757–1758 killed over 4,000 French seamen, greatly exacerbating their shortage of experienced sailors.
In addition, there was fear of a recurrence of the typhus outbreak. Therefore, the army assembled at Vannes and its transports gathered around the; the terrain was more fertile, the anchorage was large and sheltered, and men and supplies could readily be despatched from Bordeaux, Rochefort, Nantes, or.In August, the French Mediterranean Fleet under attempted to break out past Gibraltar into the Atlantic.
The British Mediterranean Fleet under caught them and a resulted in three French ships of the line being captured, two destroyed, and five in; two escaped the battle to reach Rochfort. The five French ships in Cadiz were blockaded by Boscawen's second-in-command,. Five of Boscawen's victorious ships were transferred to Admiral 's fleet, off Brest.
Map of Quiberon BayDuring 1759, the British, under Hawke, maintained a close blockade on the French coast in the vicinity of Brest. In that year, the French, and had accumulated transports and troops around the estuary.
The defeat of the Mediterranean fleet at the in August made the invasion plans impossible, but still contemplated a plan for, and so the fleet was ordered to escape the blockade and collect the transports assembled in the.During the first week of November, a westerly came up and, after three days, the ships of Hawke's blockade were forced to run for on the south coast of England. Was left behind in Quiberon Bay, with a squadron of five 'fifties' (ships of the line with 50 cannons) and nine frigates to keep an eye on the transports. In the meantime, a small squadron from the joined Conflans in Brest and, when an easterly wind came on the 14th, Conflans slipped out. He was sighted by which had remained on station off Brest despite the storms but which failed to rendezvous with Hawke, by & which tried to warn Duff but were apparently chased off by the French, and by the victualler Love and Unity returning from Quiberon, which sighted the French fleet at 2pm on the 15th, 70 miles west of Belle-Isle.
She met Hawke the next day and he sailed hard for Quiberon into a SSE gale. Meanwhile, had arrived in Quiberon Bay the night before to warn Duff and he had put his squadron to sea in the teeth of a WNW gale.

I rated it 5.
Now I've dropped down the review. But to the point.
It takes a lot to load once you are on high infamy; long wait to play. Prizes are repetitive, same boring items, no new ones or no good weapons to update your current ones and go higher. VIP is to high to pay for an android game. Overall, this game has fall down from what it used to be and it's getting worse everytime.' ,564000000,160,null,null,'7','OEG Productions',null,null,2,null,null,null,'Murphy',null,2,null,null,null,'game-play, great design, pretty good selection of different ships and items/weapons to find a playstyle you like, and overall just fun battles.
The game would easily be 5-star worthy if ANY real effort was being put into maintaining it at this point, much less improving it. Which to be honest wouldn't take a whole lot of effort, there are many quick fixes for common problems that would be sufficient until any larger changes could be completed. Amazing game, dying slowly of neglect.' Murphy',null,null,2,null,null,null,'Aljamal',null,2,null,null,null,'games is great, but there are so many bugs now!!! Some of the are whenever I enter the game and exit and go back this sound it comes messed up.
Another bug is I always see chat notifications in the guild section but there isn't any chat it's so annoying!!! The other thing this game needs is better graphics and you better ship design!!! It's needs different game modes like free-for-all or Battle Royale like all the other games!!! This game has so much potential but',590000000,23,null,null,'8','Fathaldin Aljamal',null,null,2,null,null,null,'VINELIUM ',null,2,null,null,null,'really pushing my self to put 2 stars on this amazing game but there are litle things things that need to be fixed.First the matchmaking is really slow.
I always wait for at least 2 minutes before being able to join a match. Then, the ranked system is just retarded. I can't rank up properly due to the other players on my team that are mostly noobs or do not have the proper braincells to play. Anyways, I'll be waiting.'

This game is second to none really. Nothing quite like it in its genre. I would have given it 5 stars if it where not for a bug where the gatling gun locks up and wont reload more than 1 in amo, essentially converting it into like a sniper except with a third of the range and an even smaller fraction in hit points.
Please fix and I will update rating to 5 stars. Otherwise awesome dev's keep it up',100000000,14,null,null,'9','Jebus L',null,null,2,null,null,null,'Nack',null,2,null,null,null,'game use to be my favorite to go game. After getting over 1,000 infamy points it's almost impossible to get into a ranked match. It says the estimated wait time is always in between 2 to 3 mins but after waiting several times up to 5 to 10 mins I lose intrest and move onto another game. I use to play this game daily. I think whithin the past month I've only successfully made it to a ranked match 3 times.'

I bought my boat and captain's smart's over building weapons. So it keeps putting me where the weapons are at least doubled of mine. This was before you all changed the game to favour you all. You're using me as play toy for your big spenders.
You're alls replays doesn't show exactly what happens in the fights. But my Gopro will. I'll be making my own ads of ROVIOS fair play motto.
I will pray for your souls.' ,741000000,1,null,null,'1','Tony Fawcett',null,null,2,null,null,null,'Ortega',null,2,null,null,null,'game is fun, great and.fun. But the matchmaking is obnoxiously bs. I like u give me a timer to indicate estimation but it reaches for over 2mins!! Matchmaking is 2mins long and the longest one I've waited is 7mins. Literally fell asleep cause of boredom then the 'click' woken me up. But I forced close the app cause of 'indeed' boredom.
Fix this pls?! Don't wanna wait for 2-7min of match u.
