the 1944 Battle for Leyte Gulf. It's basically several smaller battles that all took place almost simultaneously, and it's got every kind of naval warfare you could want. You want battleships dukeing it out? Battle of Surigao Strait. You want a lot of planes and dogfights? Battle of the Sibuyan Sea. You want desperation, tension, and all around badass-I'm-not-crying-sacrifice? Battle off Samar. I mean, dudes were flying planes with little to no armament against battleships as they watched their carriers get overtaken and destroyed, then they had to land on the actual island of Leyte, where the marines are fighting on the ground, and then as soon as they jumped out of thier planes they were handed rifles and told to hunker down and fight off an attack on the airstrip. Crazy, crazy stuff, you can tell I've read a bit about it. Check out The Battle for Leyte Gulf by Woodward, excellent book, quite short but beautifully written.

The Cabeza de Vaca expedition. After a failed expedition to locate the fountain of youth, a handful of conquistadors and one African slave are shipwrecked on the Texas coast and spend the next ten years living with natives. They move from tribe to tribe as healers and curiosities as they wander the southwest trying to reach the Spanish lands in Mexico. Kind of like the Odyssey but with conquistadors and Native Americans.

"Not to espouse my bias as a former coastie but "Roarin" Mike Healy of the US Coast Guard. Born of an irish settler and african american slave, the first black man to command a US vessel in service of the United States government. Was in charge of the then lawless Alaskan territory and faced numerous discharge attempts in light of his unconventional law-keeping methods. Has a ship named after him to this day. "

Not so much an event as a person. Mad Jack Churchill. Pretty much any part of WWII would be good but I expect people would say it isn't believable enough.
