Not at all like Mobile when he bolstered his troops with his own vessels at Pensacola Galvez likewise had the Spanish maritime armada from Havana. While he was THE general boss, at last he needed to badger and affront the maritime officers to enter the harbor and connect with the foe. This was on account of their own Admiral's vessel circled on the methodology and he resolutely declined to enter the harbor.

Thusly it was Bernardo ALONE on his vessel The Galvezton that entered the harbor under flame from the British stronghold and set up a foothold. Having seen this, the littler Navy vessels crept into the harbor and the genuine business of get ready to assault the fortification at last got in progress. Like Mobile his troops needed to man handle their guns and supplies into position.

As of right now he had 3500 men and with the entry of a joined Spanish and French support armada from Havana his aggregate achieved 7000 men.

On the second day of assault a Spanish howitzer struck and wrecked the arsenal in the external protections, killing exactly 150 men. It is accounted for that Francisco Bouligny drove one of the primary charges through the wrecked towers and pulled down the British Colors

For this achievement Bernardo de Galvez was given the title of "Conde de Galvez" and authorization to put the outline of his ship The Galvezton and the words "Yo Solo" (only i) on his Coat of Arms

Somewhat later in 1781-Bernardo put down a rebellion in Natchez on the Mississippi River and directed wiping up operations around Florida.

October 1781 - The clash of Yorktown, Virginia. Despite the fact that no Spanish powers were there, it was Bernardo's strategist Captain Francisco de Saavedra who had arranged and subsidized the French Fleet and Armies nearness and help to George Washington's troops. At Yorktown the British armed force under the summon of Lord Cornwallis surrendered to this consolidated French and American power.

It may be said that the unsung saint of this a player in the Revolutionary War is this same:

Chief Francisco de Saavedra de Sangronis. Conceived in Sevilla. Like Jose de Galvez he was prepared in religious philosophy for an ascetic life, yet then swung to the military and was welcomed into the court of Carlos III.

In 1776 he was serving in Spain's Embassy in Portugal.

After Spain's announcement of war on England, Saavedra was sent to Havana in 1780 as "Regal Commissioner from the Court of Madrid" and was situated on Spain's representing body for the Americas, under Jose de Galvez, "The Council of the Indies".
