Came across this little known factoid...
Most naval battles are fought within a hundred or so miles of land. The record for the distance from the battle site to shor belongs to the Royal Navy.
Its known as the Glorious First of June and was fought on June 1, 1794. The battle sight is a shade over 400 miles from land.
