Sea Battles.

This is coolbert:

Yet another extract with commentary from "The Reader's Companion to Military History". A listing of:

"The Ten Most Important Sea Battles."

* Salamis.  [Athenian/Persian]

* Actium.  [Roman Civil War]

* Defeat of the Spanish Armada.  [English/Spanish]

* Virginia Capes.  [English/French]

* Trafalgar.  [English/Spanish-French]

* Tsushima. [Japan/Russia.]

* Jutland. [WW1]

* Battle of the North Atlantic. [WW2]

* Midway. [WW2]

* Leyte Gulf. [WW2]

American involvement 2 1/2! NOT so bad. The United States normally agreed by the experts is a naval power rather than a land power. Two oceans, global reach and all that.

Personally I would have included Lepanto.

HORATIO NELSON THAT ONLY MAJOR MILITARY COMMANDER OTHER THAN ALEXANDER NEVER TO HAVE BEEN DEFEATED.
