	CFI--The Naval Gazette, Vol.1, No.1 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When all were assembled, the combined force of 18 warships and 18 transports, representing the finest French fleet ever to be seen in these waters, was a most impressive one, and the Portuguese, though inclined to favor the British side of the war, were forced to treat the French with strict neutrality.
		The battle opened with both sides in parallel lines of battle close-hauled on the starboard tack, with the British to leeward and ahead of the French.
		If this battle is typical of those to come, it will be a war of French mass against British agility, because it must be admitted by all unbiased observers that the balance of ship-handling skill was clearly on the side of His Britannic Majesty's captains, who signally outperformed their pathetic French opposite numbers.

	The Caird Lecture, 2000: The Anglo-French Naval Wars (1689-1815) in twentieth-century naval thought : Articles : JMR
		Cast in the terms of battles and amphibious landing, Colomb spoke about history in a currency that modern naval men could readily understand and could relate to their own professional thought.
		Particularly striking was his analysis of the Battle of Beachy Head in 1690 and the way in which he underscored the point that a partially beaten fleet is something till to be reckoned with and something that can still prevent an invasion.
		Among his main points, he stressed the advantage of avoiding sea battle against overwhelming forces and suggested that the battle fleet should not dominate the fleet's resources, so as to retain the flexible use of cruiser warfare as the historically preferred weapon of a weaker power.
