Page move

I’ve moved this: quite apart from it being unreferenced since it was written (in 2003!) none of the books I’ve seen call it the "Battle of Goodwin Sands"; the common name is "Battle of Dover". A Google search for "Battle of Goodwin Sands" only shows pages copy this article, or post-date it and its use of the term, so it is at best original research and at at worst suggests citogenesis. Anyway I've moved it, and added some sources for what happened. I trust everyone is OK with that. Moonraker12 (talk) 14:04, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
