"hautpoult" had fought hard during the engagement and was badly damaged, suffering between 80 and 90 casualties. "pompee" was also badly damaged, losing nine killed and 30 wounded, including fahie wounded. other casualties were suffered on "castor", with one killed and five wounded; "neptune" one killed and four wounded and "recruit" one wounded. in total, british losses were 11 killed and 40 wounded. cochrane ordered "pompee" and the newly captured french ship back to port, promoting napier to command the ship of the line for his service on "recruit" and despatching "york" and "captain" to hunt for troude's remaining squadron. despite their efforts, troude evaded pursuit and eventually reached cherbourg in may. in addition to napier there were further promotions and awards and "hautpoult" was taken into the royal navy as hms "abercromby". four decades later the battle was among the actions recognised by a clasp attached to the naval general service medal, awarded upon application to all british participants still living in 1847.
