The battle ended with the capture of the French ship of the line Le Magnanime.[1] In January 1748, Le Magnanime left Brest for the East Indies. She was partially dismasted in a storm off the coast of Ushant and while limping back to Brest, she was spotted by a British fleet under Edward Hawke.[2] All sail was immediately made; {{HMS|Nottingham|1703|6}} under Captain Robert Harland having at 1 am closed with the chase commenced the action and a running fight of six hours duration ensued. The rear admiral having observed the size of the ship sent the sixty gun ship {{HMS|Portland|1744|6}} under Captain Stevens to proceed to the Nottingham's assistance.[1] By the time the Portland had arrived up the French ship which proved to be the Magnanime a large class 74 gun ship commanded by the Marquis d'Albert after receiving a few shot from the Portland was forced to strike [3] By the time the Portland had arrived up the French ship which proved to be the Magnanime a large class 74 gun ship commanded by the Marquis d'Albert after receiving a few shot from the Portland was forced to strike. The Magnanime out of a crew of 686 men had 45 killed and 105 wounded; Nottingham had 16 killed and 18 wounded while Portland, catching up and joining the fight an hour later, had only 4 wounded.[2] Magnanime being a new ship of less than four years old was added to the British navy under the same name.{{sfn|Winfield|2007|p=57}} References
