Without that, Washington surrenders at Yorktown, to half the English fleet. Without the French fleet in The Battle of the Capes there wouldn't have been any Battle of Yorktown. Why would you think that? It was to save his fleet that the English commander surrendered at Yorktown. The French fleet in the America's was effectively disabled at the second Battle of the Capes. Can you imagine how you would apologise to the Queen, if half her ships of War were turned to splinters, by General Washington? |
