Years: 1781 - 1781
September
Graves, arriving on September 12, had found that Barras had arrived two days earlier.

Graves had ordered the Terrible to be scuttled on September 11 due to her leaky condition, and is notified on September 13 that the French fleet is back in the Chesapeake; he still does not learn that de Grasse's line had not included the fleet of Barras, because the frigate captain making the report had not counted the ships.

In a council held that day, the British admirals decide against attacking the French.

Graves now turns his battered fleet toward New York.
