Best,
Well in terms of historical importance for China I'm not sure it meant anything... since they still got defeated in the next Anglo-French attempt, and so lost the Second Opium War.
If we are to judge the importance of Chinese battles vs. how they performed against the West I'd say some of the battles in the Sino-French War (indeed, the entire Sino-French War) should be seen as more important.
So far the PLAN seems happy on naming ships after geographical features, but if they ever change their naming conventions I bet anything related to the 'Century of Humiliation' will be the first ones to be chosen.
