Default HMS Victory

Since the Royal Navy is having so many problems with their new aircraft carrier Prince of Wales, why not put the Victory back to sea? At least she always worked.

Trafalgar is certainly one of my favorite battles from the Napoleonic Wars; excellent video showing HMS Victory in technical detail.

My brother took a trip to Boston years ago and went aboard USS Constitution aka "Old Ironsides", which took part in the War of 1812. I would have found that fascinating had I saw it. Constitution and Victory never met in battle, however.

Really, this type of tourism that your brother did very much interests me.

I have already visited an exhibition about Napoleon, who came from France to São Paulo, Brazil, with weapons and personal effects, including a hat used by him, in perfect condition; I stood there looking at that hat for a long time...

I don't know when the American USS Constitution was built, and if it was new and at its peak in 1812.

But we saw in the video above that HMS Victory was a battleship from the second half of the 18th century, which was about to be taken out of service, but ended up being the main highlight in the Battle of Trafalgar.

HMS Victory: Total Guide to a Napoleonic Warship
They got an equal shot at beating the Russians with either vessel. I don't know why cuck island even bothers to have a navy outside of serving as Izzy's bitch, and taking care of some of their light work against sheep herders.

Never saw this this movie before. Peter Finch as Lord Nelson in Trafalgar battle scene.


(I think I saw the French officer on the right at 2:25 in one of the Pink Panther movies. )
