  • La bataille navale de Louisbourg, en anglais : Battle off Spanish River, est une bataille navale mineure qui a lieu pendant la guerre d'indépendance des États-Unis entre deux frégates de la Marine royale française et un convoi britannique composé de 18 navires marchands, escortés par plusieurs bâtiments de la Royal Navy au large du port de Spanish River, sur le cap Breton, Nouvelle-Écosse (actuelle ville de Sydney). Malgré leur infériorité numérique, les deux frégates françaises, L'Astrée (38) et L'Hermione (34), commandées respectivement par les capitaines de vaisseau, La Pérouse et Latouche-Tréville, attaquent et mettent en fuite le convoi ennemi.

  • Бой у Кап-Бретон (англ. Battle off Spanish River, Battle off Cape Breton, фр. Combat naval en vue de Louisbourg) — нападение двух французских фрегатов на английский конвой из 13 судов в охранении фрегата и 4 вооружённых кораблей во время Американской революционной войны, у поселения Спаниш-ривер на острове Кап-Бретон, (современный Сидней, Новая Шотландия). Французскими фрегатами командовали впоследствии знаменитые Латуш-Тревиль и Лаперуз. Теоретически британцы превосходили их в численности, и все же французы одержали победу. (ru)
