One of the best-known ship-to-ship actions of the war saw the Spanish destroyer Terror and the old cruiser Isabel II leave San Juan, Puerto Rico, to attack the blockading American auxiliary cruiser St Paul (Captain Charles D. Sigsbee). Isabel II turned back and Terror was badly damaged by very fierce gunfire and run ashore. A month later American forces landed at Guánica.
