		Tourville was to bring the French fleet up from Brest and collect the transports and the troops, then fight off the English fleet and land the army in England.
		Tourville, who had suffered grevious damage to his flag ship and several other ships by then, recognised it was futile to continue longer, and gave the order to disperse.
		Tourville probably tried for too long to save his magnificent flagship, the Soleil Royal, but eventually he realised it was hopeless and switched his command to the Ambitieux.

		Two years later, the position was reversed as Tourville, with a fleet of only forty-four ships—the remainder were with Vice Admiral Jean d'Estrées in the Mediterranean—was ordered to sail from Brest on May 12, 1692, to clear the English Channel for Louis XIV's invasion force of 30,000 men assembled near Cherbourg.
		By increasing the distance between his ships sailing in line ahead, Tourville prevented his fleet from being encircled or outflanked by the English and Dutch ships, under command of Admiral Edward Herbert, Earl of Orford, in HMS Britannia.
		There, on June 2, Tourville's brilliant handling of the fleet at Barfleur was obliterated, and as the French Army and James II (audibly proud of his disloyal subjects, to the chagrin of his allies) looked on from shore, the English fleet burned or sank a dozen ships.
