Im so glad all you cadets and Regulars of the Navy are on the forum now...lets have some real navy knowledge come through!
The topic is the most decisive naval battle or incident in history. I do mean incident, because there has been events at sea that have moved whole nations to react,,some great...some imfamous.
Post the event and why you believe its the most significant...anyone can just throw a name out there!
To start this off...I say the most significant incident was the Somers Mutiny. The reason it was significant was it was the main reason that the US Naval Academy was started in the US.
