One of the biggest naval battles in Chinese history was the running battle of Lake Poyang, in the Yangtze river.

Basically after the Yuan Dynasty was driven away, the rebel groups fought each other for rule of China. The two most powerful ones were Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang.

The battle started in an amphibious siege of the town of Nanchang- a town that sat on a crucial bottleneck of the Yangtze river- by the Zhu's forces, which was repulsed. But then a bigger fleet was heading down to fuck up Nanchang. Chen decided to head out to meet Zhu's next fleet instead of suffering another siege.

It was a bigassfuck campaign along the Yangtze. The campaign had 100,000 men overall participating and hundreds of ships, culminating in Zhu Yuanzhang's now famous fire attack which destroyed Chen's fleet.

The battle proved decisive for ZHu Yuanzhang, as it solidified him as ruler of China, founding the Ming Dynasty.

Because they possess two of the widest rivers in the world that pass through important routes in the country, China has had many freshwater naval battles in history: along the Yangtze and the Huanghe rivers and the lakes that line along them.

Lake Garda had a few battles fought over its waters, like the galeas per montes operation in the venetian-milanese wars and the naval operations on Lake Garda during the third italian independence war.

Battle of Lake Erie

This. Much of Chinese naval history are massive shitfights in freshwater bodies. To be fair though they are mostly amphibious battles between the ships on the water, and the two armies on land trying to get across each other to fuck each other up. Hence the huge body counts which include both sailors and soldiers.

What's wrong with that? They didn't have steam engines yet, and oars take up space and can snap.

It's based off a Qing-Period military encyclopedia detailing Song to Qing period military equipment and history.

Also it's less of a warship and more of an armored pillbox to cross the river with. They were used to great effect in the battle of Caishi during the Jin-Song Wars when Song paddleboats raided shoreline positions of the Jin.

Oh and to add to your thread OP: the Danube Campaign in WWI. You had tiny steamer patrol boats of the Austro-Hungarian Danube Flotilla duking it out with allied cunts trying to penetrate Austro-Hungarian Territory from the Black Sea opening of the Danube. The Austro-Hungarians even operated 1860's tier Monitors in the battle.
