[edit]I suggest to change to "Battle of Les Formigues Islands" or "Naval Battle of les Formigues" like the oficial name of the place

Correctly, in the XIII century, these islands were named in catalan "Formigas". Formigas means "ants" in english, as they seems on the horizon if you see from the nearby shore. Hormigas is the spanish name, and in XIII century in catalonia we only speak catalan. Spanish language and the banning of catalan names of locations only apears after the anexation of catalonia by Spain in 1714. Now catalan language is oficial again in Catalonia.
