The Royal Navy indeed won many battles "that mattered". Saying that Chesapeake is the only one is just ridiculously ahistorical.

See my reply to BoxOfRain above. The grand chessboard was continental Europe. Britain and its sub 10 million people was a naval nuisance that would not have fundamentally altered Napoleon's self-sabotage on the continent. He called it a "nation of shopkeepers" for a reason.

Chesapeake, on the other hand, sealed the birth of a world-changing nation.
