	Phenomenal quiz. And great selection. I REALLY need to brush up on my naval history.

	The Four Days Battle could be an alternative answer for 1666 (it was in June of that year) - but since that was a defeat for the English I have a patriotic preference for the one you've chosen - even if I didn't get it !

	a friend of mine mentioned the 'battle' thing to me, which is due to alternate names for those battles, and i was going to fix it, but the same friend pleaded with me not to change it because he only got two others and felt bad about himself

	you could do one of these just on WWII alone. ashamed that i didn't get more being that i went to the freakin Naval Academy and we had to learn this stuff.

	I do agree about the Four Days battle being included as an alternate answer; being Dutch I'd never think of it as the current answer. You could also include the Raid on the Medway and the Battle of the Downs, being some of the worst naval defeats of the British and Spanish respectively. This is of course very United Republic heavy in a quiz that already features them a lot ;-).

	I hit "The..." to start Thermopylae, and up popped Trafalgar and The Chesapeake. Some glitch. Also perhaps "Plata" might be accepted for the Plate.

	Boston Tea Party as a bonus?

	Very tough quiz, but fair. Please accept "Battle of the Monitor and Merrimac(k)" for Hampton Roads as that is a common alternative name.
