"But Rochambeau brought news that the French fleet, commanded by Comte de Grasse was sailing to the Carribean in October. The two generals agreed to attempt to surround Lord Cornwallis in the strategically important port town of Yorktown, Virginia, by land and de Grasse could cut Cornwallis off by sea."
