	Largest_naval_battle_in_history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The question of what is the largest naval battle in history is controversial, and depends on the definition of "battle" and the criteria used to assess the size, such as personnel, the number of ships, their tonnage, the area involved, and the duration.
		By comparison, the Battle of Leyte Gulf was fought during World War II, and one side was comprised by liberal democracies, with strong record-keeping institutions.
		The largest number of ships of the line in a single battle was perhaps the 87 of various sizes which took part in a sea battle between Venice and Turkey near Corfu in 1716 (however, most didn't fight), or the 85 which took part in the Battle of Matapan, between Venice and Turkey, in 1717.
