Orders of battle

[edit]

The ships in the orders of battle below are listed in the order in which they appeared in the respective battle lines. Listed in the casualties section are the totals of killed and wounded as best as can be established: due to the nature of the battle, Spanish losses were hard to calculate precisely. Officers killed in action or who subsequently died of wounds received are marked with a   symbol. As carronades were not traditionally taken into consideration when calculating a ship's rate,[1] these ships may have actually been carrying additional or fewer guns than indicated below.
