what was the site of the earliest major battle shown
One major site of a naval battle in World War II was the Battle of Midway, fought from June 4 to June 7, 1942. This pivotal battle took place near Midway Atoll in the Pacific Ocean and resulted in a significant victory for the United States Navy against the Imperial Japanese Navy. The U.S. forces, having broken Japanese codes, were able to anticipate and counter the Japanese attack, leading to the sinking of four Japanese aircraft carriers. This battle marked a turning point in the Pacific Theater, shifting the balance of naval power in favor of the Allies.
The first was the "Battle of the Philippine Sea" (aka the Marianna's Turkey Shoot; due to so many "trainee" IJN pilots being shot down by combat experienced USN pilots). The second was history's largest naval battle, the "Battle of Leyte Gulf."
The BATTLE OF JUTLAND was the largest naval battle in World War I.
