What's the most important naval battle in your nations history?

The obvious one for my flag is pretty boring, so I'm going to say something from the Dutch wars or the battle of the Sluys

I would say pic related, it gave us free access to the Uruguay river during all the war, plus we used those 12 captured vessels to enlarge our navy and defeat again the brazilians in Ituzaingó and Carmen de Patagones.

I can't think of a single battle, but the Battle of the Atlantic in WW2 was by far the most important campaign the Royal Canadian Navy ever participated in. There were no single decisive battles involving Canada, though, mostly U-Boats vs convoy escorts.

>The Swedes had a long tradition of seamanship and maintained a strong navy, and were able to land troops from the Swedish mainland at will along the south Baltic shore. They were also able to blockade Poland's ports, the most important of which was Danzig, maintaining a stranglehold on Polish trade. On 28 November 1627, a small, newly formed Polish fleet emerged from Danzig to engage the Swedish blockading squadron.

>The Polish ships were more numerous: numbering ten in all, but were mostly small, and only four galleons had full combat value. The Polish vessels were commanded by Admiral Arend Dickmann in the galleon Sankt Georg (Święty Jerzy). The Swedish squadron numbered six vessels, under Nils Stiernsköld in his flagship the Tigern. The Polish vessels had a larger complement of marines on board than the Swedish ships, and this in large part determined the tactics employed in the action.

>>75167042

No idea whether this is the most important, but as far as I know it's the largest a German navy ever fought.

It's hard to focus in the turks when you have an autistic french king as neighbour and other autistic german priest causing revolts in the middle of Europe.

This battle is the largest naval battle ever fought in the Baltic Sea.

It also brought an end to the last serious war against Russia, so in essence this is the battle that told them they weren't taking Sweden. 40% of Russia's fleet was capsized and permanently halted Catherine the Great's expansion at sea.

This was relevant in the sense that helped burgers in their rebellion against the rosbifs and eventually their revolution would inspire the ones in Latin America. And again, spanish honor at its finest.
