Aerial of fleet STORYLINE Britain's Queen Elizabeth II carried out a review of an international fleet to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. In that battle, Britain's Admiral Horatio Nelson routed Napoleon Bonaparte's French and Spanish forces and ensured that the Royal Navy ruled the waves for more than a hundred years. The ceremony was watched by thousands of spectators at the southern coast city of Portsmouth. The festivities included 35 nations that have contributed 58 vessels to the International Fleet Review, with 57 heads of foreign navies attending. The 40,000-ton French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and U.S. amphibious assault ship USS Saipan were among the ships that crowded the waters off Portsmouth. Also involved was a replica 18th-century frigate portraying the HMS Victory, the flagship that Nelson commanded and died aboard when a musket ball struck his spine during the famous sea battle.
