| - The Action of 20 November 1779 was a naval engagement of the European theatre of the American Revolutionary War that took place in the Atlantic. It was fought between a 50-gun Royal Naval ship against an armed Spanish register merchant ship that carried 26 guns. On 19 November 1779, HMS Hussar of 28 guns, under Captain , was in company with HMS Chatham of 50 guns. They were convoying trade from Lisbon back to England when they saw a two-decked ship standing out of the convoy, and at once gave chase. Hussar came up with the ship the next day and, on observing the Spanish flag being hoisted, Salter gave the order to attack. Hussar came alongside the Spanish ship and opened fire and, having the weather gage, was able to rake the ship. After a number of broadsides and realizing resistance was useless, the Spaniard struck after nearly 45 minutes of action. The Spanish ship was the Nuestra Senora del Buen Consejo, a Peruvian register ship from Lima pierced for 64 guns but mounting only 26 twelve-pounders with a crew of 120 sailors and marines. Consejo had 27 men killed and eight wounded with the rest captured; whilst the Hussar had four killed and ten wounded. Buen Consejo carried a valuable cargo consisting of copper, pewter, cocoa, Jesuit's bark, minerals and private goods, all of which were taken by the British back to England. (en)

Se libró entre un buque Royal Navy de 50 cañones contra un buque mercante de registro español armado que llevaba 26 cañones. El 19 de noviembre de 1779, el de 28 cañones, al mando del capitán , estaba en compañía del HMS Chatham de 50 cañones. Estaban transportando el comercio desde Lisboa de regreso a Inglaterra cuando vieron un barco de dos cubiertas que salía del convoy, y de inmediato lo persiguieron. Húsar subió con el barco al día siguiente y, al ver izar la bandera española, Salter dio la orden de atacar. Húsar se acercó al barco español y abrió fuego y, con el meteorómetro, pudo rastrillar el barco. Después de una serie de andanadas y al darse cuenta de que la resistencia era inútil, el español atacó después de casi 45 minutos de acción. El barco español era el Nuestra Señora del Buen Consejo, un barco de registro peruano procedente de Lima perforado por 64 cañones, pero que montaba sólo 26 cañones de doce libras con una tripulación de 120 marineros e infantes de marina. Consejo tuvo 27 hombres muertos y ocho heridos y el resto capturado; mientras que el Húsar tuvo cuatro muertos y diez heridos. El Buen Consejo transportaba un valioso cargamento que consistía en cobre, peltre, cacao, , minerales y bienes privados, todos los cuales fueron llevados por los británicos a Inglaterra. (es)
