Having lost her anchor , she was forced to go out open sea . Battle . At dawn on 25 January , having finished the storms , four suspicious ships were sighted at a distance of 11 leagues from the port of Cádiz . The lack of response to the signs of recognition that made them the " San Francisco de Asís " put on alert the crew of the Spanish ship . The suspicious vessels , which proved to be British warships , began to chase the " San Francisco de Asís " , relying on their advantage of sailing and the superiority of their forces , as the squadron consisted of two frigates of 40 guns , one 34 and a corvette of 28 . At 1 pm the British warships had approached enough to open fire on the " San Francisco " , who had hoisted their flag , ready for combat . The British frigates also hoisted their British flags .

Aftermath . The British frigates left the battle at 4 pm , and although after consulting among themselves the British commanders resolved return to fight at 4 : 30 pm , they finally withdrew half an our later . The proximity of the night and the danger of running aground on the coast between Huelva and Ayamonte convinced Alonso de Torres y Guerra to turn back , but determined to pass between the British warships beating them by both bands . However , they managed to evade the action taking advantage of its lightness and the darkness of the night .

Sky Sword II The TC - 2 Sky Sword II ( 天劍二 , Tien Chien II ) is a radar guided air - to - air missile developed by the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology ( CSIST ) in Taiwan Republic of China ( ROC ) during the 1990s for the ROC Air Force . The TC - 2 is intended as the mid - range supplement of the IR guided Sky Sword I ( TC - 1 ) , and both are currently deployed on the ROCAF ' s F - CK - 1 fighters . The TC - 2 ' s seeker head is based on Motorola - Raytheon design , initially a competitor to the AIM - 120 contract , which was later won by Hughes . CSIST is reported to have purchased 200 TC - 2 seeker head " kits " from Raytheon . This led to speculation that the ROCAF would have no more than 200 TC - 2 ' s in its inventory . On March 17 , 2004 , Jane ' s Defense Weekly reported that CSIST had produced an air - launched anti - radiation ( ARM ) missile , named Tien Chien IIA ( TC - 2A ) . The TC - 2A is reported to have a new seeker head and guidance package , possibly with dual - mode passive RF and IR sensors , and an improved extended - range rocket motor . The updated missile , with its new seeker head , indicates that CSIST ' s TC - 2 / TC - 2A production is not limited to the original Raytheon order .
