To rank naval battles against one another, let s assign a pecking order among degrees of decisiveness.
Here s What You Need to Remember: Why the rise of America didn t produce a cataclysmic naval war with the supreme sea power of the day is worth mulling over. But that, as they say, is a story for another day.
Ranking battles by their importance has been a bloodsport among military historians as long as there have
