Third new word game (13 Viewers)

HMS Endymion, launched in 1797, the lead ship of her class of 40- to 50-gun frigates. She served in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. In the War of 1812 she fought a duel with USS President on 15 January 1815, disabling the American ship.

In case anyone wonders, "ea" is a double vowel.
 
Sediman, 7 October 1798, a regiment level win for the French over the Egyptians in the last battle in Egypt of the year.
 
Alcantara, 14 May 1811, a French victory over the Portuguese on the bank of the Tajo.
 
Maida, 4 July 1806, a shocking lost near the toe of Italy to the numerically superior French under Reynier by a British and allied force that bested the French at their own tactical game. The French were advancing in mixed formation and were intending to redeploy in line to sweep the field with their superior numbers in a bayonet attack. The British upon seeing the French, quickly advanced, fired two volleys at arms length range and did exactly that to the French. Amusingly I was just reading about this battle last night.
