Battle of Trafalgar

The Battle of Trafalgar was a battle that took place in 1805 on Earth between the British Royal Navy (led by Horatio Nelson aboard the HMS Victory) and French and Spanish ships.

Prior to the battle, Lord Nelson told his men "we expect every man to do his duty". Benjamin Sisko considered Nelson's words to be an effective but simple exhortation and thought of them prior to the Battle of Cardassia.
