The Battle of the Îles Saint-Marcouf was an engagement fought off the Îles Saint-Marcouf near the Cotentin peninsula on the Normandy coast of France in May 1798 during the French Revolutionary Wars. Dislodging a British garrison on the islands was the main objective for French forces. The garrison (which had been in place since 1795) allowed the islands to serve as a resupply base for Royal Navy ships patrolling northern French waters. Apart from expelling the British, the French sought to test new equipment and tactics, which had allegedly been developed with an intention of invading Britain.

  • サン・マルクフ諸島沖の海戦(サン・マルクフしょとうおきのかいせん、Battle of the Îles Saint-Marcouf)は、フランス革命戦争中の1798年5月に、ノルマンディー沿岸のコタンタン半島近くの、沖で行われた海戦である。1795年、この島にイギリスの駐屯隊が置かれ、北フランスの沖を航行するイギリス海軍軍艦への、再補給基地として機能していた。フランスは、島からこの駐屯隊を追い出すため、また同時に、計画されていたイギリス侵攻に向けて開発していた兵器と戦略とを試すために、1798年5月7日、50隻以上の上陸用舟艇を用い、何千人もの部隊を投入して、陸海共同の襲撃を島の南部に仕掛けた。かなりのイギリス海軍の部隊がこの海域にいたにもかかわらず、風の強さと潮の高さとで戦闘に参加できず、フランス軍との戦闘は、わずか500人規模の駐屯隊にゆだねられた。 (ja)
