  • The action of 25 February 1781 was a naval engagement fought off Cape Finisterre between the Spanish naval frigate sixth rate Graña of 30 guns and the Royal Navy fifth-rate frigate HMS Cerberus of 32 guns. Graña surrendered after a hard fight. On 25 February 1781, whilst cruising 20 leagues off Cape Finisterre, HMS Cerberus, under Captain Robert Mann, sighted Graña. Graña, under Don Nicolás de Medina, was a month out of Ferrol but had captured little. Cerberus closed on Graña and within fifteen minutes the British had won. The Spanish officers fought as long as they could, but as Cerberus's broadsides took effect the Spanish sailors refused to fight. Further resistance seemed pointless, so De Medina struck Graña's colours. In the action with Cerberus, Graña lost her first lieutenant and six men killed, and seventeen men wounded, out of her crew of 166 men; the British suffered only two men wounded. The Royal Navy took Graña into service as HMS Grana. Following his victory, Captain Mann received command of the 64-gun HMS Scipio. (en)

Graña se rindió tras una dura pelea. El 25 de febrero de 1781, mientras navegaba a 20 leguas del cabo Finisterre, el HMS Cerberus, al mando del capitán Robert Mann, avistó Graña. Graña , con don Nicolás de Medina, estaba un mes fuera de Ferrol pero había capturado poco. Cerberus cerró sobre Graña y en quince minutos los británicos habían ganado. Los oficiales españoles luchaban siempre que podía, pero a medida que Cerberus ' s costados entraron en vigor los marineros españoles se negaron a luchar. Una mayor resistencia parecía inútil, por lo que De Medina golpeó los colores de Graña.​ En la acción con Cerberus , Graña perdió a su primer teniente y seis hombres muertos y diecisiete heridos, de su tripulación de 166 hombres; los británicos sólo sufrieron dos heridos. La Royal Navy puso a Graña en servicio como HMS Grana . Tras su victoria, el capitán Mann recibió el mando del de 64 cañones.​ (es)
