Any possibility of a near term French Invasion was ended with the Battle of Trafalgar when the combined French and Spanish Fleets were destroyed. An earlier French Fleet destruction happened at the Battle of the Nile and it had required years for the French to rebuild the Navy.

The Battle of Trafalgar ended any future possibility of a French Invasion of the UK. The required time to rebuild a fleet existed if adequate funding was made available. There was no way to reconstitute the commanders, line officers, NCO's and skilled seamen that would make a French Navy equal to the UK Navy. The French Revolution had virtually removed the leadership and the Professionals serving in Naval Billets. The Fleet losses in Egypt were staggering but could never compare to Trafalgar.
