[edit] Distinguish between the two subsequent battles

This battle is actually the Second Battle of Groix Island. The first battle had taken place a few days earlier on 15 June, where Villaret de Joyeuse chased another small British squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral William Cornwallis. --Ken Johnson 17:38, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
