Question

Were there naval engagements during the Carlist Wars?

Short answer

Probably. Small naval actions are tentatively recalled, especially during the First Carlist War, but no specific action is named from memory.

Notes

The exchange distinguishes the Carlist Wars from the later Spanish Civil War, although the answer is explicitly tentative. The nineteenth-century conflicts may have included small naval actions, especially during the First Carlist War. That first conflict lasted seven years, giving maritime operations time to appear alongside the land struggle. Because the answer comes from memory and names no engagement, the watch point is best treated as a lead for further study rather than a firm catalog of battles.
