This should settle any controversy for once and for all ...

Well Felix you almost won a cookie! Heres what I had in mind for the answers...

1588, Spanish Armarda.

1805 (21 october), Battle of Trafalgar.

1898, Sinking of the USS Maine (I included this one just for you yanks!)

1904, Battle of Tsushima. (First naval battle with modern battleships. The Japanise report led to the creation of Dreadnaught.)

1915 (24 january), Battle of Dogger Bank (Prelude to Jutland.)

1916 (31 may), Battle of Jutland (Clash of the titans. (Now tell me, who won this fight?)  

1918, Launching of the HMS Hood. (How could you miss that one? :P)

1939 (13 december), Battle of the River Plate. (Graf Spee Scuttled 3 days later.)

1941 (23 may), Hood and Prince of Wales attack Bismark and Prinz Eugan in the Denmark strait. Hood sunk, Bismark and Prince of Wales damaged.

1941 (25 may), Bismark sunk in Bay of Biscay by british capital ships, Rodney and King George V. Also cruiser Dorsetshire participated.

1943 ( 26 december), Battle of North Cape, German Cruiser Scharnorst sunk but HMS's Duke of York, Belfast and Jamaica. (Jamaica was credited with the kill of the Scharnorst as it was thought her torpedos caused her to sink.)

So there you are. ;D Even Felix got some wrong. :P

No Ozzy, Ms Monroe and Ex President Kennedy refused to allow a German to work with them.  Lucan was happy enough, but he was out-voted.

I have heared that they are forming a conglomerate and going into the cruise business.  They have bought their first ship - SS Marie Celeste

Other than HMS Hood (1918-1941) I think I called the rest...  Remember - it had been stated in one of the previous posts that investigation determined that the Maine was sunk by an internal explosion, not "enemy action"  - as for 1918 - check it out - what I stated still stands... the Brits and Japanese landed troops in Vladivostok in fighting against the Bolsheviks.

Battle of Jutland - Germans won -tactically.  The strategic victory went to the Brits, since the Germans never ventured out in force after that.
