Nelson's fleet, comprising 27 ships, faced 33 enemy vessels but employed innovative tactics that included breaking the enemy line, allowing his forces to engage the enemy at close
range. Not a single British vessel was lost that day, with the enemy having 1 ship sink and 17 captured. The victory at Trafalgar ensured that Britain would remain a dominant maritime power and thwarted Napoleon's plans to invade England.
