One of the most famous naval battles ever fought occurred on this date. British Admiral Nelson led an outnumbered and outgunned fleet against a numerically superior French and Spanish fleet. The British pretty much crushed them although Nelson was killed in the battle.

"But in case signals can neither be seen or perfectly understood, no captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy."

"England confides that every man will do his duty." The word "confides" was changed to "expects" to allow for easier signaling.
