| - The action of 12 December 1779 was a minor naval engagement that took place in the Bay of Honduras during the American Revolutionary War between a British Royal naval Fourth-rate fifty gun ship and a fifty gun Spanish privateer. The 50-gun HMS Salisbury had sailed for Jamaica in January 1779 under the command of Charles Inglis. On 12 December she was sailing in the Bay of Honduras off the coast of the Punta Sal when at daybreak a large ship was sighted ahead. Inglis gave chase, a pursuit which lasted all day until Salisbury came in range at 6.30pm. The fleeing ship hoisted Spanish colours and an action began, which lasted until 8.30 pm when the Spanish ship had her mainmast shot away. Having sustained heavy casualties and suffered considerable damage, she struck her colours. She was found to be the 50-gun privateer San Carlos under Don , carrying stores; mainly 5,000 stand of arms heading from Cadiz to Fort Omoa, which had recently been captured and then abandoned by British forces. In the battle the San Carlos had a complement of 397 men with 60 men killed or wounded and the rest being captured. Four men were killed on Salisbury and fourteen wounded of which five were mortal. Inglis then sailed to Jamaica carrying the San Carlos in and then distributed the prize money before heading to North America by the summer of 1780. (en)
- La Acción del 12 de diciembre de 1779 fue un enfrentamiento naval menor que tuvo lugar en la Bahía de Honduras durante la Guerra Revolucionaria Estadounidense entre un buque de la Marina Real británica de cuarta categoría de cincuenta cañones y un corsario español de cincuenta cañones. El de 50 cañones había zarpado hacia Jamaica en enero de 1779 bajo el mando de Charles Inglis. El 12 de diciembre navegaba en la Bahía de Honduras frente a la costa de Punta Sal cuando al amanecer se avistó un gran barco por delante. Inglis lo persiguió, una persecución que duró todo el día hasta que Salisbury se acercó a las 6.30 pm. El barco que huía enarboló la bandera española y se inició una acción que se prolongó hasta las 20.30 horas, cuando el barco español tuvo su palo mayor disparado. Habiendo sufrido muchas bajas y sufrido daños considerables, golpeó sus colores. Se descubrió que era el corsario de 50 cañones San Carlos bajo el mando de Don , que llevaba provisiones; principalmente 5.000 puestos de armas que se dirigían desde Cádiz al Fuerte Omoa, que había sido recientemente capturado y luego abandonado por las fuerzas británicas. En la batalla el San Carlos tuvo un complemento de 397 hombres con 60 hombres muertos o heridos y el resto capturado. Cuatro hombres murieron en Salisbury y catorce resultaron heridos, de los cuales cinco fueron mortales. Inglis luego navegó a Jamaica llevando el San Carlos y luego distribuyó el dinero del premio antes de dirigirse a América del Norte en el verano de 1780. (es)
