Great presentation Mike! Here's a couple of anecdotes for you. At the Battle of Lepanto fighting with the Spanish Regiment of Marines (the oldest organized Marine force in the world by the way) was a young Miguel de Cervantes, famous as the author of "Don Quixote." Cervantes was hit with three musket balls, one of which permanently crippled his left arm. Cervantes was very proud of his service and for the rest of his life would say "What does it matter, the loss of the left arm, if it brings glory to the right!" Fast-forward 400 years and to the United States. My father worked with a man of Spanish ancestry and one lunch break on a Friday saw him eating a roast beef sandwich. Dad was surprised by this as the both of them were Catholics and he'd never seen him eat meat on a Friday. (This was at the time it was strictly forbidden by the Church.) Dad asked him about it and the answer was the man was from a seaport village in Spain which had supplied a lot of sailors who'd fought at Lepanto and as a reward for the victory the Pope granted the villagers and their descendants a dispensation allowing them to eat meat on Fridays forevemore! Isn't that something? A Tsushima anecdote. Fighting at the Battle of Tsushima was a young Japanese ensign named Isoruku Yamamoto. Yamamoto was wounded in the left hand, losing two fingers. Had he lost three he would have been medically discharged. Now imagine how naval history might have been changed if he'd lost that additional finger! Thanks for posting!

Men, women and children were forced into slavery by the Turks who also had the largest African slave trade as well. The Turks thought they could win because the rise of Protestantism was dividing the Christian world. Monks stood on the decks of the Christian ships praying the Rosary for success. It's such an exciting Battle to read about. Thank you for this excellent video!

Another significant sea battle was the Battle of the Capes a.k.a. Battle of the Chesapeake on September 5, 1781. The French fleet was able to draw the blockading British fleet away from the entrance to Chesapeake Bay and defeat them in battle. This allowed a smaller French fleet to enter the Bay, blockade the British in Yorktown, and transport American and French troops from the north bay to lay siege to Yorktown. The defeated British fleet sailed to New York instead of returning to the bay, possibly defeating the smaller French fleet, and relieving Yorktown.

The first and second night battles of Guadalcanal were the most important naval battles of 1942 and arguably one of the most important naval battles of the war because it decided the Guadalcanal campaign. Even after the Battle of Midway the IJN had a superority in aircraft carriers. A superiority they demonstrated at the Battles of the Eastern Solomons and Santa Cruz. In terms of brutality the first battle was unsurpassed in both theaters. It was fought at age of sail distances with modern guns. The Second Battle saw USS Washington destroy the battlecruiser Kiroshima in 10 minutes landing 20 2700 lb AP rounds. USS South Dakota endured a bruutal pounding when she suffered a complete electrical failure. While the armored citadel remained unbreached the ship's upper works took severe damage with many casualties.

While none of the naval battles around Europe were as important as the ones at Guadacanal (the British were always going to have numerical superiority, as the Italians were too cautious to engage them directly), the Battle of the North Cape was a horrific affair. It was fought in the dark, in the Arctic, in a blizzard. Scharnhorst was pummeled relentlessly by Duke of York and its escorts, turning the ship into a burning nightmare. It's a miracle that 36 men survived, and that the British ships were able to rescue them.

Another important part of the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway was the allies ability to understand enough of the Japanese navy code to know what they were planning and trying to do. That was the reason the US Navy had carriers forces ready to intercept the Japanese forces in the first place.

Which proved decisive. Nagumo was baffled when he realised that US carriers were nearby at Midway, and was not prepared at all. He had expected plenty of time to pacify Midway and wait for the US carriers to come after him, whom he outnumbered two to one. The idea that the Americans would already be there, and with Yorktown no less, was astonishing.

Midshipman Isoroku Yamamoto lost two fingers at the battle of Tsushima straits. Had he lost one more finger, he would have been medically discharged from the Japanese Navy. 33 years later Admiral Yamamoto, CinC of the IJN Combined Fleet, conceived the Pearl Harbor Strike. One DOES wonder how history would have gone if that Russian gunner's aim has been a bit different.

Excellent video and summary of battles. It’s good you selected Coronel/Falklands over, say, the better known Jutland and Coral Sea rather than Midway as these are important events sometimes overlooked in favour of the more spectacular battles. At risk of sounding critical I’d like to draw a couple of points to your attention. The model of the trireme at 1:37 bears wired rig. I hope it’s a Victorian guesstimate as I’m pretty sure there’s no evidence for fore-and-aft sails until much later, certainly not brigantine rig with a jib. At Lepanto broadsides were not fired - the galleys’ sides being occupied by oars and rowers. The guns were effectively bow-chasers. There’s a replica of the galley ‘La Reale’ in the Barcelona Maritime Museum. I read that, at Tsushima, the Russian fleet compounded its problems by ordering a turn in succession, enabling the Japanese to concentrate fire on the area where each Russian ship turned. Good planning by both sides. Both the Japanese flagship and the Russian light cruiser ‘Aurora’ survive as museum ships. ‘Aurora’ later supposedly fired the blank shots which signalled the start of the 1917 revolution. Great content as always. Many thanks.
