存在争议.但是许多历史学家都习惯把这一炮归到柏勒罗丰号.因为她从开始到最后一直在与东方号力拼,受创最大,立功最大.机敏和亚力山大号随后也加入了对东方号的围攻.以1敌3,东方并不落下风.但是让亚力山 ...
有个疑问。按britishbattles站的说法。柏勒洛丰是先和“东方”号单挑了近一小时,遭重创后脱离。如果这个说法成立,虽可能仍有零星交火,但打出最致命一击可能比较小。
我觉得遭“柏勒洛丰”,“亚历山大”,“机敏”,“利安德”合击,火势蔓延造成爆炸较为可信。

The relentless aggression of the British captains was vividly illustrated by the conduct of HMS Bellerophon. Darby took his ship past Vanguard and Minotaur to attack the French Flagship, Orient, the largest ship in the battle. Within the hour Bellerophon had taken substantial casualties and drifted away, dismasted and helpless, all its officers dead or wounded.
HMS Defence and Majestic entered the line on the seaward side, Defence attacking the Franklin, sixth in the French line, and Majestic receiving a heavy fire from Orient before attacking Heureux and Tonnant.
Four British ships, Culloden, Alexander, Swiftsure and Leander, lying to the rear of the main fleet, raced to join the battle. Culloden leading grounded in the shoals. Alexander and Swiftsure left Leander and the brig Mutine to assist Culloden and hurried on, both ships attacking Orient; Swiftsure firing into her bow quarter, Alexander raking her stern quarter.
Leander, finally leaving the immovable Culloden, took position between Franklin and Orient, firing into both.
On Vanguard, Nelson was struck on the head by a piece of langridge shot, used to cut rigging, and taken below. When finally seen by the surgeon the wound was pronounced superficial.
At around 9pm Orient caught fire. Brueys had been wounded three times, the final injury proving fatal. Anchored and with little capacity to move, the French Flagship, already heavily damaged by the intrepid Bellerophon, was under fire from Alexander, Swiftsure and Leander, all firing from quarters that made reply difficult. The final devastating aspect of the French lack of foresight was about to play its part. |
