Red Squadron off Orleans, 29/1

Red Squadron:
Admiral Collister - HMS Peregrin, 30 ('Falcon' Frigate)
Captain Hornblower - ('Defiant' Frigate)
Lieutenant Flippper- HMS Flipper, 8 ('Bermuda' Sloop)

Rendevouz off Orleans. Continued to take, burn or sink 7 French merchant vessels and 2 French escort vessels. Despite a courageous attitude, Flippper's vessel, HMS Flipper, was sadly lost after unfortunately drawing a majority of the enemy's fire.

Hornblower's yet unchristened new command was indeed stunning and I personally look forward to sailing alongside it on many occasions in the future.
