Action of 20-21 April 1782[edit]

This article should be renamed "Action off Ushant, or Third Battle of Ushant" or something. The "Action of..." title is generally used for small minor naval actions. There is already so much criticism about using these titles already so I think "Action of 20-21 April 1782" may be pushing it. For example, I don't think many people would be accepting if one day articles like "Action 4/5/6/7 May 1953" start appearing.--$1LENCE D00600D (talk) 06:01, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree to renaming this Third battle off Ushant there are also merchant vessels captured that need to be added to the infobox.ChrisWet (talk) 20:24, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed Battle of Ushant[edit]

Request that this article be renamed as Third Battle of Ushant. ChrisWet (talk) 19:19, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which is the "Third Battle of Ushant"?[edit]

A question has arisen regarding two different battles being called the "Third Battle of Ushant". Please refer to the discussion on the disambiguation page Battle of Ushant. Fred Johansen (talk) 19:06, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
