The action of 20 October 1793 was a minor naval engagement of the French Revolutionary Wars fought off Cape Barfleur on the French coast of the English Channel. The early months of the war, which had begun in February, had seen a number of French frigates raiding British merchant shipping in the Channel, and HMS Crescent under Captain James Saumarez was deployed to watch the port of Cherbourg-en-Cotentin with the aim of disrupting the operations of the French frigates Réunion and Sémillante that were based in the harbour. On 20 October, Saumarez was waiting off Cape Barfleur for French movement when his lookout sighted Réunion and the cutter Espérance approaching from open water.

  • 1793年10月20日の海戦(Action of 20 October 1793)は、フランス革命戦争中に、英仏海峡を挟んでフランス側沿岸にある、バルフルール岬の沖合で行われた小規模の戦闘である。この年の2月に英仏の抗争が始まって間もなく、フランスのフリゲートが多数、英仏海峡でイギリスの商船を襲撃したため、シェルブール港を監視し、ここを母港とするフリゲートの、を阻止する目的でを指揮するが配置された。10月20日、ソーマレズはバルフルール岬沖でフランス艦の監視中、「レユニオン」とカッターの「エスペランス」が外洋から入港を試みていることを発見した。 ソーマレズはすぐさまフランス艦との交戦に移り、どうにか「レユニオン」を孤立させて、2時間以上砲撃戦を続けた。レユニオンの艦長フランソワ・A・デニアンは反撃を行わせたが、クレセントの艤装に小さな損害を与えた以外はほとんど効果がなく、一方で自艦はと艦体にひどく損傷を受け、80人以上、恐らくは120人ほどの死傷者を出していた。イギリス側の損害は、クレセント艦上の事故による1人の負傷にとどまった。結局デニアンは持ちこたえられず、28門フリゲートのが到着した時点で降伏を余儀なくされた。「レユニオン」は後に修理され、イギリス海軍で就役した。ソーマレズはこの軍功によりナイト爵を叙せられた (ja)
