HMS Victory, a 104 gun first-rate ship of the line, belonging to the Royal Navy fires a 52 gun broadside to celebrate the Battle of Trafalgar, 1805, in which she participated and won against a larger combined French and Spanish fleet, the British under the command of Vice-Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson. The British did not surrender any of their ships, and the battle put an end to Napoleon's plans to invade Britain, and asserted the Royal Navy's command of the sea until the 20th century.

yes but that night a storm blew up and i believe that all the prizes were lost if not most of them were, yet all the british ships even heavily damaged and down on crew were brought back safely mainly because we saw them as mre important than the prizes
Wouldn't it have been great if the HMS Warspite (03), the famous Queen Elizabeth class battleship, was preserved alongside the HMS Victory, then the Royal Navy could proudly display a historicaly significant ship of the 19th century Royal Navy alongside a historically significant ship of the 20th century Royal Navy. Wouldn't that have been a better fate than to have had the Warspite scrapped?
Sorry, I can't find anything on the battle of Narvik; was that the battle where the Warspite set the record for the farthest recorded hit from a battleship?
Second Naval Battle of Narvik 1940 April amazingly there are still wrecks of German destroyers there from that battle.. notably 'Georg Thiele' which you can still see today...
