The Turkish ships were moored in the form of crescent and the French frigate ARMIDE placed herself alongside the outermost enemy frigate with CAMBRIAN, GLASGOW and TALBOT next to her. When the action started the three British ships effectually destroyed their opponents and also silenced the batteries.
