In May 1781 Rochambeau wrote to the Comte de Grasse, Commander-in-Chief of the West Indian Fleet: "In the very serious crisis in which America finds itself at the moment, the arrival of Monsieur le Comte de Grasse would save the situation". On June 11, he wrote again "I do not hide from you that the Americans are at the end of their resources ... I am convinced that you will bring us naval superiority, but I cannot repeat enough to take the troops and the money too. … ”. Responding to this call for help, de Grasse, aboard his flagship, the City of Paris decided to concentrate its fleet and the troops embarked in the West Indies in the Chesapeake Bay and to surround Yorktown. This victorious strategy gave independence to the United States allowing the French navy to forget the disasters of the Seven Years' War.
This 480-page book aims to bring together maritime history and shipbuilding by first studying maritime strategy and tactics. The second part is presented as a maritime biography of the ships and frigates which distinguished themselves in this conflict by publishing as many original documents as possible.
20 frigates and 35 vessels are thus the subject of a special study, thus making it possible to renew traditional maritime history.
