French losses
[edit]According to the "Royal Navy Day by Day" the French lost 11 ships captured or destroyed - but I can't make that number out of any of the accounts. Were some smaller ships lost? Springnuts (talk) 16:58, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Springnuts, got any more details on that work? The French losses are pretty solidly sourced.

- It is "The Royal Navy Day by Day" - ISBN-10 : 0750982667; ISBN-13 : 978-0750982665 - but there are several editions and I don't know which edition this is. It's in almost all Wardrooms and Royal Marine Messes, and it is generally pretty reliable (though sometimes infuriatingly intriguing, as when speaking of a grounding in the Red Sea which was a direct result of actions of the Ship's Cat, but giving no further details). Generally pretty reliable, but maybe not in this case! Springnuts (talk) 17:14, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Springnuts, could you add it to the bibliography? And give a page number for your cite? Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 17:26, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Well, I don't think it belongs in the bibliography really. The quotes are I think most helpfully referenced by the day rather than the page number. I would have to check if there are even page numbers in it! Springnuts (talk) 18:15, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Springnuts, it definitely needs to go in the bibliography. Would you like me to do it? (In the 1979 edition the navy toast is referred to on page 322.) Gog the Mild (talk) 18:30, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Oh, of course: I just didn’t think it was significant enough to get a mention. Please do. Thank you. Friendly regards, Springnuts (talk) 23:59, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
