The Battle of Baadrõl (Chokash: Битва за Бадрул; Liidurian: Baadrõl lahing) is considered to have been the largest naval battle of the First Great War and, by some criteria, possibly the largest naval battle in history. The battle happened near the city of Baadrõl, Liiduria, from 23 March to 24 March 1897, between the Royal Chokashian Navy (RCN) and the Liidurian Naval Forces, as a part of the Chokashian invasion of Liiduria which was aimed to secure the vital supplies route to the Chokashian Army which landed on the beaches of Liiduria three weeks before the naval battle.
The Chokashia mobilised most of its naval forces, which achieved naval supremacy in most parts of the Gulf of Alemmania, in order to secure the needed supply routes for the Chokashian troops which landed in Liiduria. The operation failed as the naval forces were repulsed by the Liidurian Navy which was called back to Liiduria after the fall of Anlaufhafen.
The RCN suffered heavy losses and never sailed in comparable force thereafter, stranded for lack of fuel in their bases for the rest of the war.
