Seems to me we're missing one very important British battle
which occurred in 1805 ... the Battle of Trafalgar (off the coast of Spain near Gibraltar). The British defeated an armada of Spanish & French naval vessels in what is considered the greatest naval battle in history. Lord Nelson, the great British admiral who was killed in this battle, was transported back to Britain in a large keg of British grog ... which is entirely fitting for a sailor.
