  Classic fights on the high seas! No matter how much warship technology has advanced, one thing remains the same: the commander who fires the first, most accurate salvo immediately has the odds in his favor. Among the hard-fought, ship-to-ship gun battles here are: a very early naval struggle at the Yalu River in 1894; epic fights at the Falklands in 1914; night encounters in the Pacific; duels to the death on the Carmania and Cap Trafalgar in 1914; and more.
