English

On 1 October the force departed Rochefort, evacuating the Île d'Aix and arrived back in England on 6 October.[19] Mordaunt justified his decision by saying that the navy was needed to cover an incoming French fleet from the West Indies rather than sitting indefinitely off Rochefort.[20] Mordaunt's conduct was swiftly criticised by many officers who had taken part in the operation and had believed a landing had still been possible even at that late stage with the advantage of surprise lost.

Norwegian Nynorsk

Mordaunt sa seg så einig i ei tilbaketrekking.[12] Den 6. oktober forlet styrken Rochefort, evakuerte frå Île-d'Aix og kom tilbake til England nokre dagar seinare. Mordaunt rettferdigjorde avgjersla si ved å sei at marinen måtte dekke ein innkommande fransk flåte frå Vestindia i staden for å sitte i ro ved Rochefort i lang tid.[13] Mordaunt fekk kraftig kritikk av mange offiserar som hadde teke del i operasjonen og mange meinte at det framleis hadde vore mogeleg å gå i land sjølv etter overraskingsmomentet var tapt.
