leave out from `blue' to end and add `and notes that at Trafalgar the defeated combined fleet of France and Spain comprised 33 ships of the line compared to Nelson's British fleet of 27 ships, demonstrating that then as now the quality of leadership, personnel training and vessels of the Royal Navy is second to none and that these qualities are more important to victory than mere numbers.'.
