If your criterion is number of combatants participating, the "greatest naval battle in history" goes to Cape Ecnomus, 256 BCE, between Rome and Carthage. Reliable estimate: 300,000 in approximately 650 warships.
Setting aside the AI voiceover, whose cadence and pronunciation makes parts almost unintelligible, and the English title, which is tautological, this is decent video, well made and illustrated. The claim of ‘the greatest battle’ is a bit suspect. The largest between rowed warships, possibly but ‘greatest’? Sluys, Trafalgar, Jutland, Battle of the Atlantic, Midway etc. we’re all significant in amending the trend of history as were Salamis and Actium. To be fair, I rewatched the Spanish-language version which was more intelligible. I’ll subscribe and watch in the creator’s first language (although it’s my second.)
For naval battles, more people died at the battle of Sluys (England/France) 21,000 dead. Also 'the Four Days Battle' (2nd Dutch war) off the Thames eastuary in 1666 had over 400 vessels, over 4 days, which is more ship-days for a battle than lepanto.. and was a right bloodbath (a very sanguinary encounter) -- liked the galley footage but your AI voice is awful. x

Thank you for your kind comment, I am going to study the battle you refer to me

Thank you for your kind comment, I am just starting with the English versions, I will try to improve the AI voice
