Britain fought two naval engagements on Dogger Bank, neither of which was very conclusive. They fought the Dutch back at the time of the American Revolution. Britain actually declared war on the Dutch for giving the Americans so much assistance.

There was also an engagement during WWI where Britain chased a German squadron back to port. Odd to think about sunken ships resting on top of possible archeological sites.

True. If memory serves, an ancient wreck somewhere in the eastern Med or maybe the Aegean was found under a modern wreck, and was on top of an even more ancient wreck. It was a bad spot for many a skipper.
