  • La bataille du Cap-Vert est une bataille navale de la guerre de la Quatrième Coalition qui a lieu le 13 mars 1806 au large du Cap-Vert. Une escadre de course française, sous le commandement du comte de Linois, rencontre une escadre britannique commandée par Sir John Borlase Warren. Les navires de l'amiral Linois, le Marengo et la Belle Poule, reviennent d'une campagne de guerre de course dans l'océan Indien. Linois, blessé, est remplacé par Vrignaud, commandant du Marengo, lui-même bientôt blessé et remplacé par le capitaine de frégate Chasseriau. (fr)
