The Battle of Leyte Gulf-- October 23 to October 26, 1944
The United States 3rd and 7th Fleets, including some Australian warships, comprised 8 large aircraft carriers, 24 light/escort carriers, 12 battleships, 24 cruisers, 141 destroyers, many other ships, and around 1,500 aircraft. They won a decisive victory over Japanese forces, which consisted of four aircraft carriers, nine battleships, 19 cruisers, 34 destroyers and several hundred aircraft. The opposing fleets carried a total of about 200,000 men.
The largest naval battle in pre-modern times would be the Battle of Lepanto, 7 October 1571, between the Holy League (Spain, Italy, and several other powers) and the Ottoman Empire. Approximately 450 ships were involved, with around 50,000 men.

∙ 14y agoThe greatest warships (the most legendary warships) are modern steel battleships. The greatest of the battleships are the flagships. The mission (reason for the construction of battleships) is to fight a decisive sea battle from the "battle line." This occurred only once: 27 May 1905 at the Battle of Tsushima (in the Tsushima Straits).
