The American squadron was led by James in United States. Eric (de Ruyter) commanded Congress and I brought up the rear in Hornet.
The British were all run by my AI.
The squadrons close. To the left you can see the cautious nature of Africa's captain as he luffs up and lets his frigates surge on ahead. Africa's lack of commitment made it very hard on the British frigates throughout the engagement.
United States bears off while both Aeolus (astern of United States) and Belvidera luff up. This went very poorly for Aeolus as she received fire from Congress and United States. Even though Belvidera was right on top of United States she gets ignored and Africa takes a minor hit from United States' partial broadside.
