Is there any example where coastal defence ships won a battle?
There was a short period around 1900 where multiple countries constructed coastal defence ships. The concept has always interested me. I just recently realised I know of no example of a naval battle where they won. The only examples I know of just seem to be about them being a fleet in being. Are there any examples where the concept worked?
