We have two Greatest defensive battle threads already. I thought we could do one of that century above(some say 1800, some say 1700s, this way noone missunderstands)
I nominate The battle of Svenskund. Swedish king Gustav III had tried to attack Russia. Sent forward the fleet and now was backed into a corner. The fleet was trapped it seemed and it was to be had a do or die battle. The only thing goin for the swedes was the weather. The battle of Svensksund is the biggest victory the swedish navy ever produced, one of the few naval victories ever mentioned in our historybooks btw
