Russo-Turkish War was fought in the Med as well. I wouldn’t call a 18th century battle of 30 ships of the line a lake battle too. It was a major naval battle by all accounts.
Oh yeah, it was indeed a major naval battle. But there is a difference in the way things happen in lakes and inland seas. In a way, it might even be tougher and require a better naval officer. One, you are almost always in range of some sort of immediate land support. Two, there is nowhere to run or get fancy. It’s like two sumo wrestlers inside a ring, or two MMA fighters inside a cage.
You can’t vanish into the vast Atlantic or Pacific.
